Famous quotes containing the word acquired:

    Lloyd: That bitter cynicism of yours is something you’ve acquired since you left Radcliffe.
    Karen: That cynicism you refer to I acquired the day I discovered I was different from little boys.
    Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)

    Indeed, the best books have a use, like sticks and stones, which is above or beside their design, not anticipated in the preface, not concluded in the appendix. Even Virgil’s poetry serves a very different use to me today from what it did to his contemporaries. It has often an acquired and accidental value merely, proving that man is still man in the world.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    You in the West have a problem. You are unsure when you are being lied to, when you are being tricked. We do not suffer from this; and unlike you, we have acquired the skill of reading between the lines.
    Zdenek Urbának (b. 1917)
