Famous quotes containing the words price and/or action:
“I have asked a lot of my emotions—one hundred and twenty stories. The price was high, right up with Kipling, because there was one little drop of something, not blood, not a tear, not my seed, but me more intimately than these, in every story, it was the extra I had. Now it has gone and I am just like you now.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“Man must vanquish himself, must do himself violence, in order to perform the slightest action untainted by evil.”
—E.M. Cioran (b. 1911)
