Famous quotes containing the word thought:

    “Struggling in my father’s hands,
    Striving against my swaddling bands,
    Bound and weary, I thought best
    To sulk upon my mother’s breast.”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)

    “... when one reflects on the books one never has written, and never may, though their schedules lie in the beautiful chirography which marks the inception of an unexpressed thought upon the pages of one’s notebook, one is aware, of any given idea, that the chances are against its ever being offered to one’s dearest readers.”
    —Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)

    “Ideas are not thoughts; the thought respects the boundaries that the idea ignores thereby failing to realize itself.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
