Piece Captured

Famous quotes containing the words piece and/or captured:

“Man is not only a contributory creature, but a total creature; he does not only make one, but he is all; he is not a piece of the world, but the world itself; and next to the glory of God, the reason why there is a world.”
—John Donne (c. 1572–1631)

“When I write down my thoughts, they do not escape me. This action makes me remember my strength which I forget at all times. I educate myself proportionately to my captured thought. I aim only to distinguish the contradiction between my mind and nothingness.”
—Isidore Ducasse, Comte de Lautréamont (1846–1870)
