Highly Exaggerated

Famous quotes containing the words highly and/or exaggerated:

“The bourgeois treasures nothing more highly than the self.... And so at the cost of intensity he achieves his own preservation and security. His harvest is a quiet mind which he prefers to being possessed by God, as he prefers comfort to pleasure, convenience to liberty, and a pleasant temperature to that deathly inner consuming fire.”
—Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)

“The shadows of things are greater than themselves; and the more exaggerated the shadow, the more unlike the substance.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
