Famous quotes containing the words highest, crude, death and/or rates:

    “The highest good. [summum bonum.]”
    —Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)

    “A refined soul is distressed to know that someone owes it thanks; a crude soul, to know that it owes someone thanks.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “your antlers like seaweed,
    your face like a wolf’s death mask,
    your mouth a virgin, your nose a nipple,
    your legs muscled up like knitting balls,
    your neck mournful as an axe....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “One of the most important findings to come out of our research is that being where you want to be is good for you. We found a very strong correlation between preferring the role you are in and well-being. The homemaker who is at home because she likes that “job,” because it meets her own desires and needs, tends to feel good about her life. The woman at work who wants to be there also rates high in well-being.”
    —Grace Baruch (20th century)
