Famous quotes containing the words man and/or charged:
“Experience is not a matter of having actually swum the Hellespont, or danced with the dervishes, or slept in a doss-house. It is a matter of sensibility and intuition, of seeing and hearing the significant things, of paying attention at the right moments, of understanding and co-ordinating. Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“Luna presence,
foredoomed, already dying,
it charged the room
with plangency
older than human
cries,”
—Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
