Famous quotes containing the word source:

    “The source of our actions resides in an unconscious propensity to regard ourselves as the center, the cause, and the conclusion of time. Our reflexes and our pride transform into a planet the parcel of flesh and consciousness we are.”
    —E.M. Cioran (b. 1911)
