Famous quotes containing the word beginning:
“The good—have always been the beginning of the end.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“It’s nothing to be born ugly. Sensibly, the ugly woman comes to terms with her ugliness and exploits it as a grace of nature. To become ugly means the beginning of a calamity, self-willed most of the time.”
—Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)
