Limit Inferior

Famous quotes containing the words limit and/or inferior:

“Greatness collapses of itself: such limit the gods have set to the growth of prosperous states.”
—Marcus Annaeus Lucan (39–65)

“I find very reasonable the Celtic belief that the souls of our dearly departed are trapped in some inferior being, in an animal, a plant, an inanimate object, indeed lost to us until the day, which for some never arrives, when we find that we pass near the tree, or come to possess the object which is their prison. Then they quiver, call us, and as soon as we have recognized them, the spell is broken. Freed by us, they have vanquished death and return to live with us.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
