“One sees more devils than vast hell can hold”
William Shakespeare
“We and the cosmos are one. The cosmos is a vast body, of which we are still parts. The sun is a great heart whose tremors run through our smallest veins. The moon is a great gleaming nerve-centre from which we quiver forever. Who knows the power that”
D.H. Lawrence
“However vast a man's spiritual resources, he is capable of but one great passion”
Blaise Pascal
“Opinions are to the vast apparatus of social existence what oil is to machines: one does not go up to a turbine and pour machine oil over it; one applies a little to hidden spindles and joints that one has to know.”
Walter Benjamin
“The capacity of human beings to bore one another seems to be vastly greater than that of any other animal.”
Henry Louis Mencken
“The system -- the American one, at least -- is a vast and noble experiment. It has been polestar and exemplar for other nations. But from kindergarten until she graduates from college the girl is treated in it exactly like her brothers. She studies the same subjects, becomes proficient at the same sports. Oh, it is a magnificent lore she learns, education for the mind beyond anything Jane Austen or Saint Theresa or even Mrs. Pankhurst ever dreamed. It is truly Utopian. But Utopia was never meant to exist on this disheveled planet.”
Phyllis McGinley
“I think he's made vast improvements. Not only is he one of the better hitters in the league, I would think defensively he's one of the better shortstops in the league, too.”
