Famous quotes containing the words difference and/or set:

    The difference between tragedy and comedy is the difference between experience and intuition. In the experience we strive against every condition of our animal life: against death, against the frustration of ambition, against the instability of human love. In the intuition we trust the arduous eccentricities we’re born to, and see the oddness of a creature who has never got acclimatized to being created.
    Christopher Fry (b. 1907)

    One does not set fire to a world which is already lost.
    Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
