Narrow

Famous quotes containing the word narrow:

    Now narrow minds can develop as well through persecution as through benevolence; they can assure themselves of their power by tyrannizing cruelly or beneficently over others; they go the way their nature guides them. Add to this the guidance of interest, and you will have the key to most social riddles.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    because your clamorous blood
    Beats an impermanent rest
    You think the dead arise
    Westward and fabulous:
    The dead are those whose lies
    Were doors to a narrow house.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Anyone who has passed though the regular gradations of a classical education, and is not made a fool by it, may consider himself as having had a very narrow escape.
    William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
