Highly Exaggerated

Famous quotes containing the words highly and/or exaggerated:

“Men are inconsolable concerning the treachery of their friends or the deceptions of their enemies; and yet they are often very highly satisfied to be both deceived and betrayed by their own selves.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

“A man of genius is not a man who sees more than other men do. On the contrary, it is very often found that he is absentminded and observes much less than other people.... Why is it that the public have such an exaggerated respect for him—after he is dead? The reason is that the man of genius understands the importance of the few things he sees.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
