Longer Exists

Famous quotes containing the words longer exists, longer and/or exists:

    Wisdom has lost repute because it so often applies to a state of affairs that no longer exists.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    In the wings the tenor hungers
    For the heroine’s convulsive kiss, and Faust
    Moves forward, no longer young, reappearing
    And reappearing for the last time. The opera
    Faust would no longer need its phantom.
    On the bare, sunlit stage the hungers could begin.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    In order for the wheel to turn, for life to be lived, impurities are needed, and the impurities of impurities in the soil, too, as is known, if it is to be fertile. Dissension, diversity, the grain of salt and mustard are needed: Fascism does not want them, forbids them, and that’s why you’re not a Fascist; it wants everybody to be the same, and you are not. But immaculate virtue does not exist either, or if it exists it is detestable.
    Primo Levi (1919–1987)
