Famous quotes containing the word huger:

    Afflicted with existence, each man endures like an animal the consequences which proceed from it. Thus, in a world where everything is detestable, hatred becomes huger than the world and, having transcended its object, cancels itself out.
    E.M. Cioran (b. 1911)
