Famous quotes containing the words lowest, unique and/or bid:
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.... I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“... a unique endeavour
To bring to bloom the million-petalled flower
Of being here.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“Do not speak like a death’s-head, do not bid me remember mine end.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
