Alive Today

Famous quotes containing the words alive and/or today:

    Why has mankind had such a craving to be imposed upon? Why this lust after imposing creeds, imposing deeds, imposing buildings, imposing language, imposing works of art? The thing becomes an imposition and a weariness at last. Give us things that are alive and flexible, which won’t last too long and become an obstruction and a weariness. Even Michelangelo becomes at last a lump and a burden and a bore. It is so hard to see past him.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Even today a crude sort of persecution is all that is required to create an honorable name for any sect, no matter how indifferent in itself.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
