Requires

Famous quotes containing the word requires:

    To read well, that is, to read true books in a true spirit, is a noble exercise, and one that will task the reader more than any exercise which the customs of the day esteem. It requires a training such as the athletes underwent, the steady intention almost of the whole life to this object.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The condition every art requires is, not so much freedom from restriction, as freedom from adulteration and from the intrusion of foreign matter.
    Willa Cather (1876–1947)

    Nothing requires a greater effort of thought than arguments to justify the rule of non-thought.
    Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
