Famous quotes containing the words aggregate, excess and/or demand:
“a fortress against ideas and against the
Shuddering insidious shock of the theory-vendors

Who tilt their aggregate beast against our crumbling Troy.”

“For there is no defense for a man who, in the excess of his wealth, has kicked the great altar of Justice out of sight.”
—Aeschylus (525456 B.C.)
“Tragedy dramatizes human life as potentiality and fulfillment. Its virtual future, or Destiny, is therefore quite different from that created in comedy. Comic Destiny is Fortunewhat the world will bring, and the man will take or miss, encounter or escape; tragic Destiny is what the man brings, and the world will demand of him. That is his Fate.”
—Susanne K. Langer (18951985)
