Famous quotes containing the word satisfied:
“Stretched out before her, Rachel curls and curves,
Eyelids and lips apart, her glances filled
With satisfied ferocity; she smiles,
As beasts smile on the prey they have just killed.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“One cannot long remain so absorbed in contemplation of emptiness without being increasingly attracted to it. In vain one bestows on it the name of infinity; this does not change its nature. When one feels such pleasure in non- existence, one’s inclination can be completely satisfied only by completely ceasing to exist.”
—Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)
“After my spectacular failures, I could not be satisfied with an ordinary success.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
