Famous quotes containing the words major, wins and/or flat:

    “Power is not of a man. Wealth does not center in the person of the wealthy. Celebrity is not inherent in any personality. To be celebrated, to be wealthy, to have power requires access to major institutions.”
    —C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)

    “The grand style arises when beauty wins a victory over the monstrous.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “The allurement that women hold out to men is precisely the allurement that Cape Hatteras holds out to sailors: they are enormously dangerous and hence enormously fascinating. To the average man, doomed to some banal drudgery all his life long, they offer the only grand hazard that he ever encounters. Take them away, and his existence would be as flat and secure as that of a moo-cow.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
