Famous quotes containing the words matter and/or waves:
“I am afraid that old women are more skeptical in their most secret heart of hearts than any man: they believe in the superficiality of existence as in its essence, and all virtue and profundity is to them merely a veil over this “truth,” a most welcome veil over a pudendum—and so a matter of decency and modesty, and nothing else.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“And the waves sing because they are moving.
And the waves sing above a cemetery of waters.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
