Famous quotes containing the words misuse and/or materials:

    Physical pleasure is a sensual experience no different from pure seeing or the pure sensation with which a fine fruit fills the tongue; it is a great unending experience, which is given us, a knowing of the world, the fullness and the glory of all knowing. And not our acceptance of it is bad; the bad thing is that most people misuse and squander this experience and apply it as a stimulant at the tired spots of their lives and as distraction instead of a rallying toward exalted moments.
    Rainer Maria Rilke (1875–1926)

    Kicking his mother until she let go of his soul
    Has given his a healthy appetite: clearly, her role
    In the New Order must be
    To supply and deliver his raw materials free;
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
