Pursued

Famous quotes containing the word pursued:

“The second [of Zeno’s arguments about motion] is the one called “Achilles.” This is to the effect that the slowest as it runs will never be caught by the quickest. For the pursuer must first reach the point from which the pursued departed, so that the slower must always be some distance in front.”
—Zeno Of Elea (c. 490–430 B.C.)

“The same principles which at first view lead to skepticism, pursued to a certain point, bring men back to common sense.”

“Thus far with rough and all-unable pen
Our bending author hath pursued the story.
In little room confining mighty men.”
