Needed

Famous quotes containing the word needed:

    They were steps for me, and I climbed up over them—to do so I needed to go on past them. But they supposed I wanted to settle down on them.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Let us reform our schools, and we shall find little reform needed in our prisons.
    John Ruskin (1819–1900)

    What though the traveler tell us of the ruins of Egypt, are we so sick or idle that we must sacrifice our America and today to some man’s ill-remembered and indolent story? Carnac and Luxor are but names, or if their skeletons remain, still more desert sand and at length a wave of the Mediterranean Sea are needed to wash away the filth that attaches to their grandeur. Carnac! Carnac! here is Carnac for me. I behold the columns of a larger
    and purer temple.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
