Famous quotes containing the word thought:

    “You can’t build life the way you put blocks together, Toddy.... Did Knox teach you what makes the blood flow? Did he tell you how thoughts come and how they go, and why things are remembered and forgot?... What makes a thought start?... You don’t know and you’ll never know or understand.... Look, look at yourself. Could you be a doctor, a healing man, with the things those eyes have seen? There’s a lot of knowledge in those eyes, but no understanding.”
    —Philip MacDonald, and Robert Wise. Gray (Boris Karloff)

    “Fidelity to the subject’s thought and to his characteristic way of expressing himself is the sine qua non of journalistic quotation.”
    —Janet Malcolm (b. 1934)

    “Retire me to my Milan, where
    Every third thought shall be my grave.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
