Famous quotes containing the words active and/or region:

It is sad to go to pieces like this, but we all have to do it.”

“This moment exhibits infinite space, but there is a space also wherein all moments are infinitely exhibited, and the everlasting duration of infinite space is another region and room of joys.”
