Famous quotes containing the words period and/or rule:
“Intellectual life is international. Only a period of discouragement, an age that has given up on itself, that wants to “preserve,” that has been driven onto the defensive, can be intellectually nationalist. Such a period is essentially “conservative.” A person who has progress in his heart is international.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
“Do I dare set forth here the most important, the most useful rule of all education? it is not to save time, but to squander it.”
—Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778)
