Famous quotes containing the words solely and/or incidental:
“I advise you to go on living solely to enrage those who are paying your annuities. It is the only pleasure I have left.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
“Almost always tradition is nothing but a record and a machine-made imitation of the habits that our ancestors created. The average conservative is a slave to the most incidental and trivial part of his forefathers’ glory—to the archaic formula which happened to express their genius or the eighteenth-century contrivance by which for a time it was served.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
