Humboldt Times

Famous quotes containing the words humboldt and/or times:

    Coercion may prevent many transgressions; but it robs even actions which are legal of a part of their beauty. Freedom may lead to many transgressions, but it lends even to vices a less ignoble form.
    —Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)

    I ... toyed with the idea of going to find another war where I could at least feel alive. I was so numb that it took terror to make me feel anything.
