Famous quotes containing the word reaches:
“One never reaches home, but wherever friendly paths intersect the whole world looks like home for a time.”
—Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)
“Despair is the price one pays for setting oneself an impossible aim. It is, one is told, the unforgivable sin, but it is a sin the corrupt or evil man never practises. He always has hope. He never reaches the freezing-point of knowing absolute failure. Only the man of goodwill carries always in his heart this capacity for damnation.”
—Graham Greene (1904–1991)
