Positive Sense

Famous quotes containing the words positive and/or sense:

“Success goes thus invariably with a certain plus or positive power: an ounce of power must balance an ounce of weight.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“I suppose everyone continues to be interested in the quest for the self, but what you feel when you’re older, I think, is that ... you really must make the self. It is absolutely useless to look for it, you won’t find it, but it’s possible in some sense to make it. I don’t mean in the sense of making a mask, a Yeatsian mask. But you finally begin in some sense to make and choose the self you want.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
