Reaches

Famous quotes containing the word reaches:

    We are only what we are; not what we would be; nor every thing we hope for. We are but a step in a scale, that reaches further above us than below.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    I’m glad to find that you dislike Venice because I thought it detestable when we were there, both times—once it might be due to insanity but not twice, so I thought it must be my fault. I suppose the obscurer reaches might be beautiful.
    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    However low a man sinks he never reaches the level of the police.
    Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)
