Famous quotes containing the words basic and/or subjects:

“I fly in dreams, I know it is my privilege, I do not recall a single situation in dreams when I was unable to fly. To execute every sort of curve and angle with a light impulse, a flying mathematics—that is so distinct a happiness that it has permanently suffused my basic sense of happiness.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“... writers do not find subjects: subjects find them. There is not so much a search as a state of open susceptibility.”
