Lesser Fiend

Famous quotes containing the words lesser and/or fiend:

    And this is the final meaning of work: the extension of human consciousness. The lesser meaning of work is the achieving of self-preservation.

    This false world is but transitory;
    The flesh is bruckle, the Fiend is slee:—
    Timor Mortis conturbat me.
