Maximum Width

Famous quotes containing the words maximum and/or width:

    Only at his maximum does an individual surpass all his derivative elements, and become purely himself. And most people never get there. In his own pure individuality a man surpasses his father and mother, and is utterly unknown to them.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Newly stumbling to and fro
    All they find, outside the fold,
    Is a wretched width of cold.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
