Judged Larger

Famous quotes containing the words judged and/or larger:

    The future of humanity is uncertain, even in the most prosperous countries, and the quality of life deteriorates; and yet I believe that what is being discovered about the infinitely large and infinitely small is sufficient to absolve this end of the century and millennium. What a very few are acquiring in knowledge of the physical world will perhaps cause this period not to be judged as a pure return of barbarism.
    Primo Levi (1919–1987)

    Through open doors, the dining-room declares
    A larger loneliness of knives and glass
    And silence laid like carpet.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
