Famous quotes containing the words active and/or duty:
“Few, if any, creatures are equally active all night.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I perceived that to express those impressions, to write that essential book, which is the only true one, a great writer does not, in the current meaning of the word, invent it, but, since it exists already in each one of us, interprets it. The duty and the task of a writer are those of an interpreter.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
