Famous quotes containing the words spread and/or duration:

    In a moment when criticism shows a singular dearth of direction every man has to be a law unto himself in matters of theatre, writing, and painting.

    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    Higher than the question of our duration is the question of our deserving. Immortality will come to such as are fit for it, and he would be a great soul in future must be a great soul now.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
