Ideal

Famous quotes containing the word ideal:

    There is no absolute point of view from which real and ideal can be finally separated and labelled.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    An ideal is merely the projection, on an enormously enlarged scale, of some aspect of personality.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    Some day the soft Ideal that we wooed
    Confronts us fiercely, foe-beset, pursued,
    And cries reproachful: “Was it then my praise,
    And not myself was loved? Prove now thy truth;
    I claim of thee the promise of thy youth.”
    James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
