Achieved

Famous quotes containing the word achieved:

“What have we achieved in mowing down mountain ranges, harnessing the energy of mighty rivers, or moving whole populations about like chess pieces, if we ourselves remain the same restless, miserable, frustrated creatures we were before? To call such activity progress is utter delusion. We may succeed in altering the face of the earth until it is unrecognizable even to the Creator, but if we are unaffected wherein lies the meaning?”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)

“Absolute justice is achieved by the suppression of all contradiction: therefore it destroys freedom.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)

“Permanent success cannot be achieved except by incessant intellectual labour, always inspired by the ideal.”
—Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)
