Famous quotes containing the words word and/or length:
“The word “civilization” to my mind is coupled with death. When I use the word, I see civilization as a crippling, thwarting thing, a stultifying thing. For me it was always so. I don’t believe in the golden ages, you see.... Civilization is the arteriosclerosis of culture.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“All expression of truth does at length take this deep ethical form.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
