Ernest Victor Bliss

Famous quotes containing the words victor and/or bliss:

    “The struggle alone pleases us, not the victory. We love to see animals fighting, not the victor raving over the vanquished.... It is the same in gambling, and the same in the search for truth.... We never seek things for themselves—what we seek is the very seeking of things.”
    —Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    “And are not men than they more blind,
    Who having eyes yet never find
    The bliss in which they move:
    Like statues dead
    They up and down are carried,
    Yet neither see nor love.”
    —Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
