Wangan Midnight Maximum

Famous quotes containing the words midnight and/or maximum:

    And yet what good were yesterday’s devotions?
    I affirm and then at midnight the great cat
    Leaps quickly from the fireside and is gone.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Only at his maximum does an individual surpass all his derivative elements, and become purely himself. And most people never get there. In his own pure individuality a man surpasses his father and mother, and is utterly unknown to them.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
