Warring States

Famous quotes containing the words warring and/or states:

    I make this in a warring absence when
    Each ancient, stone-necked minute of love’s season
    Harbours my anchored tongue....
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    We cannot feel strongly toward the totally unlike because it is unimaginable, unrealizable; nor yet toward the wholly like because it is stale—identity must always be dull company. The power of other natures over us lies in a stimulating difference which causes excitement and opens communication, in ideas similar to our own but not identical, in states of mind attainable but not actual.
    Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
