The Sense

Famous quotes containing the word sense:

    Parents vary in their sense of what would be suitable repayment for creating, sustaining, and tolerating you all those years, and what circumstances would be drastic enough for presenting the voucher. Obviously there is no repayment that would be sufficient . . . but the effort to call in the debt of life is too outrageous to be treated as anything other than a joke.
    Frank Pittman (20th century)

    History creates comprehensibility primarily by arranging facts meaningfully and only in a very limited sense by establishing strict causal connections.
    Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
