Highly Exaggerated

Famous quotes containing the words highly and/or exaggerated:

“I read ... an article by a highly educated man wherein he told with what conscientious pains he had brought up all his children to be skeptical of everything, never to believe anything in life or religion or their own feelings without submitting it to many rational doubts, to have a persistent, thoroughly skeptical, doubting attitude toward everything.... I think he might as well have taken them out in the backyard and killed them with an ax.”
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)

“The shadows of things are greater than themselves; and the more exaggerated the shadow, the more unlike the substance.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
