Total

Famous quotes containing the word total:

    The only way into truth is through one’s own annihilation; through dwelling a long time in a state of extreme and total humiliation.
    Simone Weil (1909–1943)

    For, the expectation of gratitude is mean, and is continually punished by the total insensibility of the obliged person. It is a great happiness to get off without injury and heart-burning, from one who has had the ill luck to be served by you. It is a very onerous business, this being served, and the debtor naturally wishes to give you a slap.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    For youth is a frail thing, not unafraid.
    Firstly inclined to take what it is told.
    Firstly inclined to lean. Greedy to give
    Faith tidy and total. To a total God.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
