Deeper

Famous quotes containing the word deeper:

“The imagination, give it the least license, dives deeper and soars higher than Nature goes.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The deeper the experience of an absence of meaning—in other words, of absurdity—the more energetically meaning is sought.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)

“The butterfly’s attractiveness derives not only from colors and symmetry: deeper motives contribute to it. We would not think them so beautiful if they did not fly, or if they flew straight and briskly like bees, or if they stung, or above all if they did not enact the perturbing mystery of metamorphosis: the latter assumes in our eyes the value of a badly decoded message, a symbol, a sign.”
—Primo Levi (1919–1987)
