Famous quotes containing the words notable, people and/or performed:

    “Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “It is one of the blessings of this world that few people see visions and dream dreams.”
    —Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)

    “Ambition often puts Men upon doing the meanest offices; so climbing is performed in the same position with creeping.”
    —Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
