Famous quotes containing the words rank and/or structure:

    “Your rank is way down below his when you seek to establish the exceptions and he seeks to establish the rule.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Vashtar: So it’s finished. A structure to house one man and the greatest treasure of all time.
    Senta: And a structure that will last for all time.
    Vashtar: Only history will tell that.
    Senta: Sire, will he not be remembered?
    Vashtar: Yes, he’ll be remembered. The pyramid’ll keep his memory alive. In that he built better than he knew.”
    —William Faulkner (1897–1962)
