The Strong

Famous quotes containing the word strong:

    Manuel showed her his open hand: “Look at this finger, how meager it seems, and this one even weaker, and this other one no stronger, and this one all by himself and on his own.”
    Then he made a fist: “But now, is it strong enough, big enough, solid enough? It seems so doesn’t it?”
    Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)

    Wonder is the foundation of all philosophy; research, the progress; ignorance, the end. There is, by heavens, a strong and generous kind of ignorance that yields nothing, for honour and courage, to knowledge: an ignorance to conceive which needs no less knowledge than to conceive knowledge.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
