Famous quotes containing the words well-known and/or faculty:

    In our most trivial walks, we are constantly, though unconsciously, steering like pilots by certain well-known beacons and headlands, and if we go beyond our usual course we still carry in our minds the bearing of some neighboring cape; and not till we are completely lost, or turned round,—for a man needs only to be turned round once with his eyes shut in this world to be lost,—do we appreciate the vastness and strangeness of nature.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A faculty for idleness implies a catholic appetite and a strong sense of personal identity.
    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
