Caught

Famous quotes containing the word caught:

“cried as he died, fearing at last the spheres’

And caught between two nights, blindness and death.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

“In every philosophical school, three thinkers succeed one another in the following way: the first produces out of himself the sap and seed, the second draws it out into threads and spins a synthetic web, and the third waits in this web for the sacrificial victims that are caught in it—and tries to live off philosophy.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
