Judged

Famous quotes containing the word judged:

    Slowly he entered dark and silence and lay there for so long that with what judgement remained he judged them to be final.
    Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

    To coxcombs averse, yet most civilly steering,
    When they judged without skill he was still hard of hearing:
    When they talked of their Raphaels, Corregios and stuff,
    He shifted his trumpet, and only took snuff.
    Oliver Goldsmith (1730?–1774)

    The future of humanity is uncertain, even in the most prosperous countries, and the quality of life deteriorates; and yet I believe that what is being discovered about the infinitely large and infinitely small is sufficient to absolve this end of the century and millennium. What a very few are acquiring in knowledge of the physical world will perhaps cause this period not to be judged as a pure return of barbarism.
    Primo Levi (1919–1987)
