Famous quotes containing the words page and/or victor:

    “When you write down your life, every page should contain something no one has ever heard about.”
    —Elias Canetti (b. 1905)

    “The struggle alone pleases us, not the victory. We love to see animals fighting, not the victor raving over the vanquished.... It is the same in gambling, and the same in the search for truth.... We never seek things for themselves—what we seek is the very seeking of things.”
    —Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
