Famous quotes containing the word deeper:
“For, as it is dislocation and detachment from the life of God, that makes things ugly, the poet, who re-attaches things to nature and the Whole,re-attaching even artificial things, and violations of nature, to nature, by a deeper insight,disposes very easily of the most disagreeable facts.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“His life itself passes deeper in nature than the studies of the naturalist penetrate; himself a subject for the naturalist. The latter raises the moss and bark gently with his knife in search of insects; the former lays open logs to their core with his axe, and moss and bark fly far and wide. He gets his living by barking trees. Such a man has some right to fish, and I love to see nature carried out in him.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Life is essentially a cheat and its conditions are those of defeat ... the redeeming things are not happiness and pleasure but the deeper satisfactions that come out of struggle.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (18961940)
