Famous quotes containing the word lacks:
“Criticism is often not a science; it is a craft, requiring more good health than wit, more hard work than talent, more habit than native genius. In the hands of a man who has read widely but lacks judgment, applied to certain subjects it can corrupt both its readers and the writer himself.”
—Jean De La Bruyère (16451696)
“My feelings about my work are, on the whole, not unfriendly. Boundless modesty and what people call humility are virtues scarcely conducive to ones complacently dwelling upon ones own workparticularly when one lacks them.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (18991977)
“Life, being weary of these worldly bars,
Never lacks power to dismiss itself.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
