Famous quotes containing the word achievement:

    The crown of literature is poetry. It is its end and aim. It is the sublimest activity of the human mind. It is the achievement of beauty and delicacy. The writer of prose can only step aside when the poet passes.
    W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1966)

    ... very little achievement is required in order to pity another man’s shortcomings.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    Art—the one achievement of Man which has made the long trip up from all fours seem well advised.
    James Thurber (1894–1961)
