Famous quotes containing the words talents and/or universe:
“He who, in an enlightened and literary society, aspires to be a great poet, must first become a little child. He must take to pieces the whole web of his mind. He must unlearn much of that knowledge which has perhaps constituted hitherto his chief title to superiority. His very talents will be a hindrance to him.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
“There is not in the universe a more ridiculous, nor a more contemptible animal, than a proud clergyman.”
—Henry Fielding (1707–1754)
