Left Hand Point

Famous quotes containing the words left, hand and/or point:

    We must exclude someone from our gathering, or we shall be left with nothing.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
    Bible: Hebrew Ecclesiastes, 9:10.

    Ideals possess the strange quality that if they were completely realized they would turn into nonsense. One could easily follow a commandment such as “Thou shalt not kill” to the point of dying of starvation; and I might establish the formula that for the proper functioning of the mesh of our ideals, as in the case of a strainer, the holes are just as important as the mesh.
    Robert Musil (1880–1942)
