Famous quotes with Possesses of

• The main peculiarity which distinguishes man from other animals is the means of his support-the power which he possesses of very greatly increasing these means.

  Thomas Malthus
• The style in which page after page of is written takes our breath away. We find ourselves marvelling at the words, as if all the fountains of the English language had been set playing in the sunlight for our pleasure, but it seems scarcely fitting to ask what meaning they have for us. After a time, falling into a passion with this indolent pleasure-loving temper in his readers, Ruskin checked his fountains, and curbed his speech to the very spirited, free and almost colloquial English in which and are written.

I am anxious to answer the scholar man but not the representative of a certain discipline, that insatiable, ever inquisitive phantom which like a vampire drains whom it possesses of his humanity.

  Franz Rosenzweig
