Famous quotes containing the words stroke and/or side:
“Manners are the happy way of doing things; each once a stroke of genius or of love—now repeated and hardened into usage. They form at last a rich varnish, with which the routine of life is washed, and its details adorned. If they are superficial, so are the dewdrops which give such depth to the morning meadows.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Boredom is just the reverse side of fascination: both depend on being outside rather than inside a situation, and one leads to the other.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
