Pure Identity

Famous quotes containing the words pure and/or identity:

    There is no country in which so absolute a homage is paid to wealth. In America there is a touch of shame when a man exhibits the evidences of large property, as if after all it needed apology. But the Englishman has pure pride in his wealth, and esteems it a final certificate. A coarse logic rules throughout all English souls: if you have merit, can you not show it by your good clothes and coach and horses?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Growing has no connection with audience. / Audience has no
    connection with identity. / Identity has no
    connection with a universe. / A universe has no
    connection with human nature.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
