Famous quotes containing the words latin, square and/or reduced:
“I am not of the opinion generally entertained in this country [England], that man lives by Greek and Latin alone; that is, by knowing a great many words of two dead languages, which nobody living knows perfectly, and which are of no use in the common intercourse of life. Useful knowledge, in my opinion, consists of modern languages, history, and geography; some Latin may be thrown into the bargain, in compliance with custom, and for closet amusement.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Houses haunt me.
That last house!
How it sat like a square box!”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Love is a taste for prostitution. In fact, there is no noble pleasure that cannot be reduced to Prostitution.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
