Highly

Famous quotes containing the word highly:

    The more highly public life is organized the lower does its morality sink.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    Once the sin against God was the greatest sin, but God died, and so these sinners died as well. To sin against the earth is now the most terrible thing, and to esteem the entrails of the unknowable more highly than the meaning of the earth.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    William James once said: “Progress is a terrible thing.” It is more than that: it is also a highly ambiguous notion. For who knows but that a little further on the way a bridge may not have collapsed or a crevice split the earth?
    Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
