Famous quotes containing the words reasonable, time and/or lines:
“Is it reasonable that even the arts should take advantage of and profit by our natural stupidity and feebleness of mind?”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“I’ll so offend to make offence a skill,
Redeeming time when men least think I will.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“It is the Late city that first defies the land, contradicts Nature in the lines of its silhouette, denies all Nature. It wants to be something different from and higher than Nature. These high-pitched gables, these Baroque cupolas, spires, and pinnacles, neither are, nor desire to be, related with anything in Nature. And then begins the gigantic megalopolis, the city-as-world, which suffers nothing beside itself and sets about annihilating the country picture.”
—Oswald Spengler (1880–1936)
