Famous quotes containing the words vulgar and/or display:
“Thus Pegasus, a nearer way to take,
May boldly deviate from the common track.
From vulgar bounds with brave disorder part,
And snatch a grace beyond the reach of art,
Which without passing through the judgment, gains
The heart, and all its end at once attains.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“I mistrust the satisfaction which makes a display of the possession of Infinity; that is called fatuity in philosophic terms.”
—Edgar Quinet (1803–1875)
