Famous quotes containing the words basic and/or letter:
“I fly in dreams, I know it is my privilege, I do not recall a single situation in dreams when I was unable to fly. To execute every sort of curve and angle with a light impulse, a flying mathematics—that is so distinct a happiness that it has permanently suffused my basic sense of happiness.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“To know the laws is not to memorize their letter but to grasp their full force and meaning.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
