Famous quotes containing the words large and/or amounts:
“The artistic temperament is a disease that affects amateurs.... Artists of a large and wholesome vitality get rid of their art easily, as they breathe easily or perspire easily. But in artists of less force, the thing becomes a pressure, and produces a definite pain, which is called the artistic temperament.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“... no one with a happy childhood ever amounts to much in this world. They are so well adjusted, they never are driven to achieve anything.”
—Sue Grafton (b. 1940)
