Intense

Famous quotes containing the word intense:

“A perfect personality ... is only possible in a state of society where man is free to choose the mode of work, the conditions of work, and the freedom to work.

—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)

“We are told that talent creates its own opportunities. But it sometimes seems that intense desire creates not only its own opportunities, but its own talents.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

“Soon,
Light from a small intense lopsided moon
Shows them, black as their shadows, sleeping so.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
