Famous quotes containing the word apt:

    “Where beauty is worshipped for beauty’s sake as a goddess, independent of and superior to morality and philosophy, the most horrible putrefaction is apt to set in. The lives of the aesthetes are the far from edifying commentary on the religion of beauty.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “Women were formed to temper Mankind, and sooth them into Tenderness and Compassion; not to set an Edge upon their Minds, and blow up in them those Passions which are too apt to rise of their own Accord.”
    —Joseph Addison (1672–1719)

    “O hateful Error, Melancholy’s child,
    Why dost thou show to the apt thoughts of men
    The things that are not?”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
