Superior Power

Famous quotes containing the words superior and/or power:

“If it is the result of a pure love, there can be nothing sensual in marriage. Chastity is something positive, not negative. It is the virtue of the married especially. All lusts or base pleasures must give place to loftier delights. They who meet as superior beings cannot perform the deeds of inferior ones.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The memory ... experiencing and re-experiencing, has such power over one’s mere personal life, that one has merely lived.”
