Famous quotes containing the words highest and/or weight:
“But tell me: how did gold get to be the highest value? Because it is uncommon and useless and gleaming and gentle in its brilliance; it always gives itself. Only as an image of the highest virtue did gold get to be the highest value. The givers glance gleams like gold. A golden brilliance concludes peace between the moon and the sun. Uncommon is the highest virtue and useless, it is gleaming and gentle in its brilliance: a gift- giving virtue is the highest virtue.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
“as his weight wilts
and he is on a porch
that wont hold my arms,
or the legs of the race run
forwards, or the film
played backwards on his grandsons eyes.”
—Michael S. Harper (b. 1938)
