Total Lift

Famous quotes containing the words total and/or lift:

“The totality of our so-called knowledge or beliefs, from the most casual matters of geography and history to the profoundest laws of atomic physics or even of pure mathematics and logic, is a man-made fabric which impinges on experience only along the edges.

—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

“No, in country money, the country scale of gain,
The requisite lift of spirit has never been found....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
