Famous quotes containing the words significant, mortality and/or reduction:
“Experience is not a matter of having actually swum the Hellespont, or danced with the dervishes, or slept in a doss-house.

Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

Narcissus is vocabulary. Hermes decorates
A cornice on the Third National Bank.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“The reduction of nuclear arsenals and the removal of the threat of worldwide nuclear destruction is a measure, in my judgment, of the power and strength of a great nation.”
