Famous quotes containing the word recognized:
“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)
“What is called politics is comparatively something so superficial and inhuman, that practically I have never fairly recognized that it concerns me at all.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It used to be said that, socially speaking, Philadelphia asked who a person is, New York how much is he worth, and Boston what does he know. Nationally it has now become generally recognized that Boston Society has long cared even more than Philadelphia about the first point and has refined the asking of who a person is to the point of demanding to know who he was. Philadelphia asks about a man’s parents; Boston wants to know about his grandparents.”
—Cleveland Amory (b. 1917)
