Actual Infinite

Famous quotes containing the words actual and/or infinite:

    We can never safely exceed the actual facts in our narratives. Of pure invention, such as some suppose, there is no instance. To write a true work of fiction even is only to take leisure and liberty to describe some things more exactly as they are.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Mary McDonald, you giggled as you passed—
    I wondered what the boy with hairy chest
    Carved on the wall of his inexpensive spirit
    Memorial to your infinite unrest.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
