Famous quotes containing the words significant and/or undesirable:
“Every American, to the last man, lays claim to a “sense” of humor and guards it as his most significant spiritual trait, yet rejects humor as a contaminating element wherever found. America is a nation of comics and comedians; nevertheless, humor has no stature and is accepted only after the death of the perpetrator.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
“Experience. The wisdom that enables us to recognise in an undesirable old acquaintance the folly that we have already embraced.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
