Famous quotes containing the words distance and/or scale:
“You say I’m small? I certainly can relate, although it is a matter of perspective. The distance is deceptive, my friend, you stand too low.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“The Humanity of men and women is inversely proportional to their Numbers. A Crowd is no more human than an Avalanche or a Whirlwind. A rabble of men and women stands lower in the scale of moral and intellectual being than a herd of Swine or of Jackals.”
