Aim

Famous quotes containing the word aim:

“When I write down my thoughts, they do not escape me. This action makes me remember my strength which I forget at all times. I educate myself proportionately to my captured thought. I aim only to distinguish the contradiction between my mind and nothingness.”
—Isidore Ducasse, Comte de Lautréamont (1846–1870)

“Hypocrisy repels me even in love, and our great women aim for too lofty a performance. Napoleon has given them some ideas of morals and constancy.”
—Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)

“Far as we aim our signs to reach,
Far as we often make them reach,
Across the soul-from-soul abyss,
There is an aeon-limit set
Beyond which they are doomed to miss.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
