. . . what humanity most desperately needs is not the creation of new worlds but the recreation in terms of human comprehension of the world we have -- and it is for this reason that arts go on for generation to generation in spite of the fact that Phidias has already carved and Homer has already sung.

Archibald MacLeishI'm not trying to say I accomplished nothing, I'm just trying to say that at this point in my life, I don't want to look at what I've accomplished and hold it like it's my trophy.

Not for any peril or labour it might cost; but because I could see nothing in the whole world for me to do once it was accomplished.

As Texas's governor, Bush led a penitentiary system that executed more people than all the other U.S. states together.

(Bush) promoted a Conservative program, designed to eliminate everything Americans had accomplished so far in matters of race and equality.
Danny GloverSome people will know exactly what they want to do at a very young age, but the odds are low. I feel like people in their early- to mid-20s are very earnest.

Frank SinatraIf there is one thing I think I have accomplished, it's that I always thought of myself as a very literal songwriter, and as I look at some of those older records, I don't hear it now the way I did when I was 20.

I feel like on those older records there are a lot of attempts at clever turns of phrase.
