Famous quotes containing the words celestial and/or orientation:
“Say next to holiness is the will thereto,
And next to love is the desire for love,
The desire for its celestial ease in the heart,
Which nothing can frustrate, that most secure,
Unlike love in possession of that which was
To be possessed and is.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Every orientation presupposes a disorientation.”
—Hans Magnus Enzensberger (b. 1929)
