Approach

Famous quotes containing the word approach:

“Oh! mystery of man, from what a depth
Proceed thy honours. I am lost, but see
In simple childhood something of the base
On which thy greatness stands; but this I feel,
That from thyself it comes, that thou must give,
Else never canst receive. The days gone by
Return upon me almost from the dawn
Of life: the hiding-places of man’s power
Open; I would approach them, but they close.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

“Do not approach with anything even resembling assurance a restaurant that moves.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)

“Genuine polemics approach a book as lovingly as a cannibal spices a baby.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
