Peak Crest

Famous quotes containing the words peak and/or crest:

“I think I’ve been good, but I want to be better. I think women reach their peak in their mid-thirties.”

“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
