Famous quotes containing the words subject and/or range:

    That is what the highest criticism really is, the record of one’s own soul. It is more fascinating than history, as it is concerned simply with oneself. It is more delightful than philosophy, as its subject is concrete and not abstract, real and not vague. It is the only civilised form of autobiography.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    but we wish the river had another shore,
    some further range of delectable mountains,
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
