Famous quotes containing the words total, input and/or power:
“It seems certain, that though a man, in a flush of humour, after intense reflection on the many contradictions and imperfections of human reason, may entirely renounce all belief and opinion, it is impossible for him to persevere in this total scepticism, or make it appear in his conduct for a few hours.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“Celebrity is a mask that eats into the face. As soon as one is aware of being “somebody,” to be watched and listened to with extra interest, input ceases, and the performer goes blind and deaf in his overanimation. One can either see or be seen.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
“You are evil. But even the power of evil cannot stand against the power of faith and goodness.”
—Griffin Jay, and Randall Faye. Lew Landers. Lady Jane Ainsley (Frieda Inescort)
