Famous quotes containing the words comparative and/or ranks:

    “Our comparative fidelity was fear of defeat at the hands of another partner.”
    —Max Frisch (1911–1991)

    “A sleeping man holds in a circle around him the thread of the hours, the order of years and of worlds. He consults them instinctively upon awaking and in one second reads in them the point of the earth that he occupies, the time past until his arousal; but their ranks can be mingled or broken.”
    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
