High Achievement

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or achievement:

    How tall the buildings were as I began
    To live, and how high the rain that battered them!
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    The crown of literature is poetry. It is its end and aim. It is the sublimest activity of the human mind. It is the achievement of beauty and delicacy. The writer of prose can only step aside when the poet passes.
    W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1966)
