Famous quotes containing the words nerve and/or passes:
“Social questions are too sectional, too topical, too temporal to move a man to the mighty effort which is needed to produce great poetry. Prison reform may nerve Charles Reade to produce an effective and businesslike prose melodrama; but it could never produce Hamlet, Faust, or Peer Gynt.”
—George Bernard Shaw (18561950)
“Consciousness is the perception of what passes in a mans own mind. Can another man perceive that I am conscious of any thing, when I perceive it not myself? No mans knowledge here can go beyond his experience.”
—John Locke (16321704)
