Individual Achievement

Famous quotes containing the words individual and/or achievement:

“I should like [people] to like the purely individual thing in themselves, which makes them act in singleness. and They only like to do the collective thing.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)

“It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past.... Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
