Famous quotes containing the words current and/or gain:
“Phlebas the Phoenician, a fortnight dead,
Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell
And the profit and loss.
A current under sea
Picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell
He passed the stages of his age and youth
Entering the whirlpool.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“[A man’s] moral conscience is the curse he had to accept from the gods in order to gain from them the right to dream.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
