Famous quotes containing the words sinister and/or urge:
“Calm fell. From Heaven distilled a clemency;
There was peace on earth, and silence in the sky;
Some could, some could not, shake off misery:
The Sinister Spirit sneered: It had to be!
And again the Spirit of Pity whispered, Why?”
—Thomas Hardy (18401928)
“Life is a petty thing unless it is moved by the indomitable urge to extend its boundaries. Only in proportion as we are desirious of living more do we really live.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (18831955)
