High Altitude Performance

Famous quotes containing the words high, altitude and/or performance:

    “But let my due feet never fail
    To walk the studious cloister’s pale,
    And love the high embowed roof,
    With antic pillars massy proof,
    And storied windows richly dight,
    Casting a dim, religious light.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “On a level plain, simple mounds look like hills; and the insipid flatness of our present bourgeoisie is to be measured by the altitude of its “great intellects.””
    —Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    “So long as the source of our identity is external—vested in how others judge our performance at work, or how others judge our children’s performance, or how much money we make—we will find ourselves hopelessly flawed, forever short of the ideal.”
    —Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
