Famous quotes containing the word highest:

—Salvador Dali (19041989)
“In place of a world, there is a city, a point, in which the whole life of broad regions is collecting while the rest dries up. In place of a type-true people, born of and grown on the soil, there is a new sort of nomad, cohering unstably in fluid masses, the parasitical city dweller, traditionless, utterly matter-of-fact, religionless, clever, unfruitful, deeply contemptuous of the countryman and especially that highest form of countryman, the country gentleman.”
—Oswald Spengler (18801936)
“A supreme love, a motive that gives a sublime rhythm to a womans life, and exalts habit into partnership with the souls highest needs, is not to be had where and how she wills.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
