Endless

Famous quotes containing the word endless:

    Writing fiction is ... an endless and always defeated effort to capture some quality of life without killing it.
    Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1965)

    Better that endless notes beseech
    As many nights, as many dawns,
    If finally God grants the wish.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Nothing is quite so wretchedly corrupt as an aristocracy which has lost its power but kept its wealth and which still has endless leisure to devote to nothing but banal enjoyments. All its great thoughts and passionate energy are things of the past, and nothing but a host of petty, gnawing vices now cling to it like worms to a corpse.
    Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
