Famous quotes containing the words mere and/or oblivion:
“Much of our reading, much of our labor, seems mere waiting: it was not that we were born for. Any other could do it as well or better. So little skill enters into these works, so little do they mix with the divine life, that it really signifies little what we do, whether we turn a grindstone, or ride, or run, or make fortune, or govern the state.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Beneath it all, desire of oblivion runs:
Despite the artful tensions of the calendar....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
