Famous quotes containing the words greatest and/or combined:
“The greatest poverty is not to live
In a physical world, to feel that one’s desire
Is too difficult to tell from despair.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Today we all speak, if not the same tongue, the same universal language. There is no one center, and time has lost its former coherence: East and West, yesterday and tomorrow exist as a confused jumble in each one of us. Different times and different spaces are combined in a here and now that is everywhere at once.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
