Irrational Part

Famous quotes containing the words irrational and/or part:

“The irrational may be attractive in the abstract, but not in cab drives, dinner guests, or elderly relatives.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“I have seen many people, who, while you are speaking to them, instead of looking at, and attending to you, fix their eyes upon the ceiling, or some other part of the room, look out of the window, play with a dog, twirl their snuff-box, or pick their nose. Nothing discovers a little, futile, frivolous mind more than this, and nothing is so offensively ill-bred.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
