Remaining Elemental Spirits

Famous quotes containing the words remaining, elemental and/or spirits:

    In every ascetic morality man prays to one part of himself as God, and to do so he finds it necessary to demonize the remaining part.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    What chiefly distinguishes the daily press of the United States from the press of all other countries is not its lack of truthfulness or even its lack of dignity and honor, for these deficiencies are common to the newspapers everywhere, but its incurable fear of ideas, its constant effort to evade the discussion of fundamentals by translating all issues into a few elemental fears, its incessant reduction of all reflection to mere emotion. It is, in the true sense, never well-informed.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    Live a thousand years,
    I shall not find myself so apt to die.
    No place will please me so, no mean of death,
    As here by Caesar, and by you cut off,
    The choice and master spirits of this age.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
