Famous quotes containing the words mental and/or deficiency:
“My mind rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram, or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. I can dispense then with artificial stimulants. But I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for mental exaltation.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
“Shakespeare’s fault is not the greatest into which a poet may fall. It merely indicates a deficiency of taste.”
