Famous quotes containing the words greatest and/or depths:
“Money is the source of the greatest vice, and that nation which is most rich, is most wicked.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“... perhaps there exists only one intelligence from which the world sublets, one intelligence toward which each person, from the depths of his individual body, directs his gaze, as in the theater where, though each has a seat, however, there is only one stage.... But if it we all shared the same intelligence, [Bergotte] would, upon hearing me express [my ideas], remember them, love them, smile at them....”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
