Higher Moments

Famous quotes containing the words higher and/or moments:

“The higher a man stands, the more the word “vulgar” becomes unintelligible to him.”

“But now moments surround us
Like a crowd, some inquisitive faces, some hostile ones,
Some enigmatic or turned away to an anterior form of time
Given once and for all. The jetstream inscribes a final flourish
That melts as it stays.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
