"A multitude of causes unknown to former times are now acting
with a combined force to blunt the discriminating powers of the
mind, and unfitting it for all voluntary exertion to reduce it to a
state of almost savage torpor."- William Wordsworth

Hey, thanks for this quote (though I might take some time to understand its meaning I think you're blowing your own trumpet over there when you're talking about your hobbies - "I am a blah blah..." http://www.poetseers.org/the_romantics/william_wordsworth/william_wordsworth_quotes/ Take care! |
). And I always thought that Wordsworth only wrote poems about nature, like The Daffodils and Upon Westminister Bridge.

"From the smallest necessity to the highest religious abstraction,
from the wheel to the skyscraper, everything we are and
everything we have comes from one attribute of man - the function
of his reasoning mind."- Ayn Rand

"The Americans, who are the most efficient people on the earth, have carried this device
[the use of "ready-made phrases"] to such a height of perfection and have invented so
wide a range of pithy and hackneyed phrases that they can carry on an amusing and
animated conversation without giving a moment's reflection to what they are saying and
so leave their minds free to consider the more important matters of big business and
fornication."- W. Somerset Maugham
