Significant Wave Height

Famous quotes containing the words significant, wave and/or height:

“As between these two, the need that in its haste to be abolished cannot pause to be stated and the need that is the absolute predicament of particular human identity, one does not presume to suggest a relation of worth. Yet the distinction is perhaps not idle, for it is from the failure to make it that proceeds the common rejection as “obscure” of most that is significant in modern music, painting and literature.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

“Down the blue night the unending columns press
In noiseless tumult, break and wave and flow,”
—Rupert Brooke (1887–1915)

“How frightening it is to have reached the height of human accomplishment in art that must forever borrow from life’s abundance.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
