Famous quotes containing the words indicative and/or mood:

    “Could anything be more indicative of a slight but general insanity than the aspect of the crowd on the streets of Chicago?”
    —Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

    “This fellow is wise enough to play the fool,
    And to do that well craves a kind of wit.
    He must observe their mood on whom he jests,
    The quality of persons, and the time,
    Not, like the haggard, check at every feather
    That comes before his eye. This is a practice
    As full of labor as a wise man’s art.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
