Point Count

Famous quotes containing the words point and/or count:

“You should go to picture-galleries and museums of sculpture to be acted upon, and not to express or try to form your own perfectly futile opinion. It makes no difference to you or the world what you may think of any work of art. That is not the question; the point is how it affects you. The picture is the judge of your capacity, not you of its excellence; the world has long ago passed its judgment upon it, and now it is for the work to estimate you.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)

“Through excessive exertion they put together some free time, and afterwards have no idea what to do with it except to count the hours until they’ve passed.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
