Famous quotes containing the words major and/or achievements:

    “Inanimate objects are classified scientifically into three major categories—those that don’t work, those that break down and those that get lost.”
    —Russell Baker (b. 1925)

    “When science, art, literature, and philosophy are simply the manifestation of personality, they are on a level where glorious and dazzling achievements are possible, which can make a man’s name live for thousands of years. But above this level, far above, separated by an abyss, is the level where the highest things are achieved. These things are essentially anonymous.”
    —Simone Weil (1909–1943)
