Famous quotes containing the word ultimate:
“To love something as an artist ... means to be shaken not by its ultimate value or lack of value, but by a side of it that suddenly opens up. Where art has value it shows things that few have seen. It’s conquering, not pacifying.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
