Measure

Famous quotes containing the word measure:

“Cowardice and courage are never without a measure of affectation. Nor is love. Feelings are never true. They play with their mirrors.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

“A solitary traveler whom we saw perambulating in the distance loomed like a giant. He appeared to walk slouchingly, as if held up from above by straps under his shoulders, as much as supported by the plain below. Men and boys would have appeared alike at a little distance, there being no object by which to measure them. Indeed, to an inlander, the Cape landscape is a constant mirage.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“I am not the measure of creation.
This is beyond me, this fish.
His God stands outside my God.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
