Supreme People

Famous quotes containing the words supreme and/or people:

    “What makes us heroic?—Confronting simultaneously our supreme suffering and our supreme hope.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Nobody is saying that these people do not ultimately cease to be. And
    Sometimes their passings are even more painful than ours.
    It is just that so often they live till their hair is white.
    They make excellent corpses, among the expensive flowers. . . .”
