Famous quotes containing the words sat and/or instance:
“The furniture,
Taken out and examined under the starlight, pleads
No contest. And the backs of those who sat there before.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“That the discovery of this great truth, which lies so near and obvious to the mind, should be attained to by the reason of so very few, is a sad instance of the stupidity and inattention of men, who, though they are surrounded with such clear manifestations of the Deity, are yet so little affected by them, that they seem as it were blinded with excess of light.”
—George Berkeley (1685–1753)
