Standard Finite Set

Famous quotes containing the words standard, finite and/or set:

“If the Revolution has the right to destroy bridges and art monuments whenever necessary, it will stop still less from laying its hand on any tendency in art which, no matter how great its achievement in form, threatens to disintegrate the revolutionary environment or to arouse the internal forces of the Revolution, that is, the proletariat, the peasantry and the intelligentsia, to a hostile opposition to one another. Our standard is, clearly, political, imperative and intolerant.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)

“All finite things reveal infinitude:”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

“Fortunate they
Who, though once only and then but far away,
Have heard her massive sandal set on stone.”
