Famous quotes containing the words starting and/or position:

    “what most appals
    Is that tiny first shiver,
    That stumble, whereby
    We know beyond doubt
    They have almost run out
    And are starting to die.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “He who is usually self-sufficient becomes exceptionally vain and keenly alive to fame and praise when he is physically ill. The more he loses himself the more he has to endeavor to regain his position by means of the opinion of others.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
