Enjoy reading and share 5 famous quotes about Cants with everyone.
“I have a notion that, at big fires, a moment of extreme suspense can sometimes occur, when the jets of water slacken off, the firemen no longer climb, no one moves a muscle. Without a sound, a high black wall of masonry cants over up above, the fire blazing behind it, and, without a sound, leans, about to topple. Everyone stands waiting, shoulders tensed, faces drawn in around their eyes, for the terrible crash. That is how the silence is here.”
— Rainer Maria Rilke —
“Then it got worse. When I went shopping, the local merchants told me the Mc Cants were by telling them not to sell to me or else they would take vengeance out on their store. I had to go shopping further and further away from my apartment. Sometimes, when a bus came by my pick up point, one of the Mc Cants was standing by the driver telling him not to stop there. They even stood outside the factory I worked at holding up signs that read "This factory employs a murderer". From Fear and Retribution”
— The Prophet Of Life
“Of all the cants which are canted in this canting world, - though the cant of hypocrites may be the worst, - the cant of criticism is the most tormenting!”
— Laurence Sterne
“I simply state that I'm a product of a versatile mind in a restless generation-with every reason to throw my mind and pen in with the radicals. Even if, deep in my heart, I thought we were all blind atoms in a world as limited as a stroke of a pendulum, I and my sort would struggle against tradition; try, at least, to displace old cants with new ones. I've thought I was right about life at various times, but faith is difficult. One thing I know. If living isn't seeking for the grail it may be a damned amusing game.”
— F. Scott Fitzgerald
— Thomas Carlyle
