Study

Famous quotes containing the word study:

    “...feminism never harmed anybody unless it was some feminists. The danger is that the study and contemplation of “ourselves” may become so absorbing that it builds by slow degrees a high wall that shuts out the great world of thought.”
    —Rheta Childe Dorr (1866–1948)

    “What is more subtle than this which ties me to the woman or man
    that looks in my face?
    Which fuses me into you now, and pours my meaning into you?
    We understand men do we not?
    What I promis’d without mentioning it, have you not accepted?
    What the study could not teach—what the preaching could
    not accomplish is accomplish’d, is it not?”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “Though those who study are as many as the number of hairs on an ox, those who succeed are as rare as unicorns’ horns.”
    —Chinese proverb.
