Famous quotes containing the words james, gordon and/or bennett:

    The awe and dread with which the untutored savage contemplates his mother-in-law are amongst the most familiar facts of anthropology.
    —Sir James George Frazer (1854–1941)

    Is there any thing beyond?—who knows? He that can’t tell. Who tells there is? He who don’t know. And when shall he know? Perhaps, when he don’t expect it, and generally when he don’t wish it. In this last respect, however, all are not alike; it depends a good deal upon education, something upon nerves and habits—but most upon digestion.
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    There can be no knowledge without emotion. We may be aware of a truth, yet until we have felt its force, it is not ours. To the cognition of the brain must be added the experience of the soul.
    —Arnold Bennett (1867–1931)
