Apprehension Quotations
What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god. William Shakespeare There are more things to alarm us than to harm us, and we suffer more often in apprehension than reality. Lucius Annaeus Seneca A man may imagine things that are false, but he can only understand things that are true, for if the things be false, the apprehension of them is not understanding. Isaac Newton Wisdom is that apprehension of heavenly things to which the spirit rises through love. Honore de Balzac It's quite ironic I suppose, it's that thing about being in a group when you all start out as friends and then invariably end up hating each other. So I just thought they needed telling really, in case they were labouring under the apprehension that they were still friends. Peter Hook |
