Principal Buddha Image

Famous quotes containing the words principal, buddha and/or image:

    Rather than have it the principal thing in my son’s mind, I would gladly have him think that the sun went round the earth, and that the stars were so many spangles set in the bright blue firmament.
    Thomas Arnold (1795–1842)

    After Buddha was dead, his shadow was still shown for centuries in a cave—a tremendous, gruesome shadow. God is dead; but given the way of man, there may still be caves for thousands of years in which his shadow will be shown.—And we—we still have to vanquish his shadow, too.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    the focused beam
    folds all energy in:
    the image glares filling all space:
    the head falls and
    hangs and cannot wake itself.
    Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
