Existential Particle

Famous quotes containing the words existential and/or particle:

    One of the most horrible, yet most important, discoveries of our age has been that, if you really wish to destroy a person and turn him into an automaton, the surest method is not physical torture, in the strict sense, but simply to keep him awake, i.e., in an existential relation to life without intermission.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    You don’t hold any mystery for me, darling, do you mind? There isn’t a particle of you that I don’t know, remember, and want.
    Noël Coward (1899–1973)
