Famous quotes containing the words price and/or tests:
“Cecil Graham: What is a cynic?
Lord Darlington: A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past.... Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
