Limits

Famous quotes containing the word limits:

“As nature requires whirlwinds and cyclones to release its excessive force in a violent revolt against its own existence, so the spirit requires a demonic human being from time to time whose excessive strength rebels against the community of thought and the monotony of morality ... only by looking at those beyond its limits does humanity come to know its own utmost limits.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)

“Yet shall he mount, and keep his distant way
Beyond the limits of a vulgar fate:
Beneath the Good how far—but far above the Great.”
—Thomas Gray (1716–1771)

“[I support] term limits for career politicians and the death penalty for career politicians.”
—William Frist (b. 1952)
