Lacks

Famous quotes containing the word lacks:

“My feelings about my work are, on the whole, not unfriendly. Boundless modesty and what people call “humility” are virtues scarcely conducive to one’s complacently dwelling upon one’s own work—particularly when one lacks them.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

“The reason why the world lacks unity, and lies broken and in heaps, is, because man is disunited with himself.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“With pictures full, of wax and of wool,
Their livers I stick with needles quick;
There lacks but the blood to make up the flood.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
