Eternal Idol

Famous quotes containing the words eternal and/or idol:

    What seems to be, is, to those to whom
    It seems to be, and is productive of the most dreadful
    Consequences to those to whom it seems to be, even of
    Torments, despair, eternal death.
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    One should never direct people towards happiness, because happiness too is an idol of the market-place. One should direct them towards mutual affection. A beast gnawing at its prey can be happy too, but only human beings can feel affection for each other, and this is the highest achievement they can aspire to.
    Alexander Solzhenitsyn (b. 1918)
