Vertical World Climbing

Famous quotes containing the words vertical, world and/or climbing:

    “I tell you, hopeless grief is passionless;
    That only men incredulous of despair,
    Half-taught in anguish, through the midnight air
    Beat upward to God’s throne in loud access
    Of shrieking and reproach. Full desertness,
    In souls as countries, lieth silent-bare
    Under the blanching, vertical eye-glare
    Of the absolute Heavens.”
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    “Home? I have no home. Hunted, despised, living like an animal. The jungle is my home. But I will show the world that I can be its master. I will perfect my own race of people, a race of atomic supermen, which will conquer the world.”
    —Edward D. Wood, Jr. (1922–1978)

    “... climbing the primordial climb,
    a dream within a dream,
    then sitting here
    holding a basket of fire.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
