Famous quotes containing the word boundaries:

    Whereas the Greeks gave to will the boundaries of reason, we have come to put the will’s impulse in the very center of reason, which has, as a result, become deadly.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?

    We love to overlook the boundaries which we do not wish to pass.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
