Forced Draught

Famous quotes containing the words forced and/or draught:

“The intellect of man is forced to choose
Perfection of the life, or of the work,”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“In compensation for considerable disgust, despondency, and boredom—such as living in solitude without friends, books, duties, or passions necessarily entails—we are given those quarter-hours of deepest communion with ourselves and nature. Those who completely barricade themselves from boredom, barricade themselves from themselves as well: they will never get to drink the most refreshingly potent draught from the their own innermost fountain.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
