Famous quotes containing the words preferred, trust and/or units:

    The earlier works of a man of genius are always preferred to the newer ones, in order to prove that he is going down instead of up.

    If I may trust the flattering truth of sleep,
    My dreams presage some joyful news at hand.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Even in harmonious families there is this double life: the group life, which is the one we can observe in our neighbour’s household, and, underneath, another—secret and passionate and intense—which is the real life that stamps the faces and gives character to the voices of our friends. Always in his mind each member of these social units is escaping, running away, trying to break the net which circumstances and his own affections have woven about him.
    Willa Cather (1873–1947)
