Fulfillment

Famous quotes containing the word fulfillment:

    Let us pray that the great historic tragedy of our time may not have been enacted without instructing our whole beloved country through terror and pity; and may fulfillment verify in the end those expectations which kindle the bards of Progress and Humanity.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Desire increases when fulfillment is postponed.
    Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)

    The quality of the will to power is, precisely, growth. Achievement is its cancellation. To be, the will to power must increase with each fulfillment, making the fulfillment only a step to a further one. The vaster the power gained the vaster the appetite for more.
    Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
