Ultimate Length

Famous quotes containing the words ultimate and/or length:

    That other one wanted to think his way to life,
    Sure that the ultimate poem was the mind,
    Or of the mind, or of the mind in these
    Elysia, these days, half earth, half mind;
    Half sun, half thinking of the sun; half sky,
    Half desire for indifference about the sky.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Whoever aims publicly at great things and at length perceives secretly that he is too weak to achieve them, has usually also insufficient strength to renounce his aims publicly, and then inevitably becomes a hypocrite.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
