Famous quotes containing the words largest and/or living:

“The largest pond is as sensitive to atmospheric changes as the globule of mercury in its tube.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“I always used to suffer a great deal if I let myself get too close to reality since the definitive world of the everyday with its hard edges and harsh light did not have enough resonance to echo the demands I made upon experience. It was as if I never experienced experience as experience. Living never lived up to the expectations I had of it—the Bovary syndrome.”
—Angela Carter (1942–1992)
