Famous quotes containing the word thinking:

“Man is but a reed, the feeblest one in nature; but he is a thinking reed. The entire universe need not arm itself to crush hima vapor, a drop of water suffices to kill him. But if the universe were to crush him, man would still be nobler than that which killed him, because he knows that he dies and the advantage which the universe has over him; the universe knows nothing of this.”
—Blaise Pascal (16231662)
“Max Detweiler: I get a fiendish delight thinking of you as the mother of seven. How do you plan to do it?
