Famous quotes with Disapproves

  • The ear disapproves but tolerates certain musical pieces; transfer them into the domain of our nose, and we will be forced to flee.
    Jean Cocteau
  • S. J. Gould’s is a paleontologist's distorted view of what psychologists think, untutored in even the most elementary facts of the science. Gould is one of a number of politically motivated scientists who have consistently misled the public about what psychologists are doing in the field of intelligence, what they have discovered and what conclusions they have come to. Gould simply refuses to mention unquestionable facts that do not fit into his politically correct version; he shamelessly attacks the reputations of eminent scientists of whom he disapproves, on completely nonfactual grounds, and he misrepresents the views of scientists.
    Stephen Jay Gould
  • For other things mild Heav'n a time ordains, And disapproves that care, though wise in show, That with superfluous burden loads the day, And, when God sends a cheerful hour, refrains.
    John Milton
  • The ear disapproves but tolerates certain musical pieces; transfer them into the domain of our nose, and we will be forced to flee.
