Famous quotes containing the words greatest and/or depths:
“The greatest step forward would be to see that everything factual is already theory. The blueness of the sky reveals the basic law of chromatics. Don’t look for anything behind the phenomena, they themselves are the doctrine.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“We want ... to plunge into the depths of the abyss, Hell or Heaven, what does it matter? into the depths of the Unknown to find something new!”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
