Absolute Position

Famous quotes containing the words absolute and/or position:

    If a man needs an elaborate tombstone in order to remain in the memory of his country, it is clear that his living at all was an act of absolute superfluity.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    The essence of spirit, he thought to himself, was to choose the thing which did not better one’s position but made it more perilous. That was why the world he knew was poor, for it insisted morality and caution were identical.
    Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
