Famous quotes containing the words achievement, award and/or recipient:
“The quality of the will to power is, precisely, growth. Achievement is its cancellation. To be, the will to power must increase with each fulfillment, making the fulfillment only a step to a further one. The vaster the power gained the vaster the appetite for more.”
—Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
“The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
“He who bestows something great receives no gratitude; for in accepting it the recipient has already been weighed down too much.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
