Famous quotes containing the words secret and/or words:
“The secret of being miserable is to have leisure to bother about whether you are happy or not. The cure for it is occupation.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“‘A thing is called by a certain name because it instantiates a certain universal’ is obviously circular when particularized, but it looks imposing when left in this general form. And it looks imposing in this general form largely because of the inveterate philosophical habit of treating the shadows cast by words and sentences as if they were separately identifiable. Universals, like facts and propositions, are such shadows.”
—David Pears (b. 1921)
