Famous quotes containing the word recognized:
“I find very reasonable the Celtic belief that the souls of our dearly departed are trapped in some inferior being, in an animal, a plant, an inanimate object, indeed lost to us until the day, which for some never arrives, when we find that we pass near the tree, or come to possess the object which is their prison. Then they quiver, call us, and as soon as we have recognized them, the spell is broken. Freed by us, they have vanquished death and return to live with us.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“The real enemy can always be met and conquered, or won over. Real antagonism is based on love, a love which has not recognized itself.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“I was going to get myself recognized at any price. ...If I could not win fame by goodness, I was ready to do it by badness. ...”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
