Famous quotes containing the words art, studies and/or europe:

    “The art of letters will come to an end before A.D. 2000.... I shall survive as a curiosity.”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    “The conduct of a man, who studies philosophy in this careless manner, is more truly sceptical than that of any one, who feeling in himself an inclination to it, is yet so over-whelm’d with doubts and scruples, as totally to reject it. A true sceptic will be diffident of his philosophical doubts, as well as of his philosophical conviction; and will never refuse any innocent satisfaction, which offers itself, upon account of either of them.”
    —David Hume (1711–1776)

    “...I think the Americans are the only people who have good beds. I consider the American bedroom unparalleled for freshness, comfort, and cleanliness. It is worth going all over Europe in order to come home to one’s own bed.”
    —M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
