Famous quotes containing the words superior and/or fissure:
“Only the rare expands our minds, only as we shudder in the face of a new force do our feelings increase. Therefore the extraordinary is always the measure of all greatness. And the creative element always remains the value superior to all others and the mind superior to our minds.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“that part of him that was left behind convulsed in undignified

Writhed like lightning, and was gone
Into the black hole, the earth-lipped fissure in the wall-front,”
