Imperfect Degree

Famous quotes containing the words imperfect and/or degree:

    The mere existence of conscience, that faculty of which people prate so much nowadays, and are so ignorantly proud, is a sign of our imperfect development. It must be merged in instinct before we become fine.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    I cannot see how a man of any large degree of humorous perception can ever be religious—except he purposely shut the eyes of his mind & keep them shut by force.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
