Lifetime Achievement

Famous quotes containing the words lifetime and/or achievement:

    A lifetime [or, eternity] is a child playing, playing checkers; the kingdom belongs to a child.
    Heraclitus (c. 535–475 B.C.)

    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)
