Individual Stars

Famous quotes containing the words individual and/or stars:

    It is a strange fact that freedom and equality, the two basic ideas of democracy, are to some extent contradictory. Logically considered, freedom and equality are mutually exclusive, just as society and the individual are mutually exclusive.
    Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    It would be better for men
    To be few and live far apart, where none could infect another; then
    slowly the sanity of field and mountain
    And the cold ocean and glittering stars might enter their minds.
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
