Ted Hughes > Quotes > Quotable Quote

"And that's how we measure out out our existent respect for people—by the caste of feeling they can annals, the voltage of life they can carry and tolerate—and savor. End of sermon. Equally Buddha says: live like a mighty river. And equally the one-time Greeks said: live as though all your ancestors were living over again through you."

― Ted Hughes, 1930

tags: learning-the-truth, life, living
