Famous quotes containing the word quality:

    What was it that drove these thousands into the arms of his art—what but the blissfully sensuous, searing, sense-consuming, intoxicating, hypnotically caressing, heavily upholstered—in a word, the luxurious quality of his music?
    Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    A quality is something capable of being completely embodied. A law never can be embodied in its character as a law except by determining a habit. A quality is how something may or might have been. A law is how an endless future must continue to be.
    Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)

    The courage of a soldier is found to be the cheapest and most common quality of human nature.
    Edward Gibbon (1737–1794)
