Famous quotes containing the words famous, train and/or robberies:

    “Martyrdom ... is the only way in which a man can become famous without ability.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “When Western people train the mind, the focus is generally on the left hemisphere of the cortex, which is the portion of the brain that is concerned with words and numbers. We enhance the logical, bounded, linear functions of the mind. In the East, exercises of this sort are for the purpose of getting in tune with the unconscious—to get rid of boundaries, not to create them.”
    —Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)

    “True, we’re not great thieves, like the nobles. Our robberies are petty compared to the wholesale plunder of the nation.”
    —Sonya Levien (1895–1960)
