Rear Element

Famous quotes containing the words rear and/or element:

“Creation destroys as it goes, throws down one tree for the rise of another. But ideal mankind would abolish death, multiply itself million upon million, rear up city upon city, save every parasite alive, until the accumulation of mere existence is swollen to a horror.”

We are not suited to the long perspectives
Open at each instant of our lives.”
