If you’re constantly pushing yourself higher ... the law of averages‚ not to mention the Myth of Icarus‚ predicts that you will at some point fall. And when you do I want you to know this‚ remember this: There is no such thing as failure. Failure is just life trying to move us in another direction."Yeah I believe that when you’re in a good position

Go between Essay In his novel‚ the author takes us on a momentous journey which sees the protagonist‚ a naive young boy‚ Leo Colston; lose his childhood innocence as a result of his involvement in a forbidden love affair between the sister of his aristocratic friend and a farmer on the estate they manage.

W.H Auden’s Musée des Beaux Arts can be read as a dialectical discussion on the nature of suffering. On the one hand the poem acknowledges the momentous nature of suffering to the afflicted individual‚ and on the other‚ its apparent incapacity to impress upon observers.

The Conflict Between Medieval and Renaissance Values Scholar R.M. Dawkins famously remarked that Doctor Faustus tells “the story of a Renaissance man who had to pay the medieval price for being one.” While slightly simplistic‚ this quotation does get at the heart of one of the play’s central themes: the clash between the medieval world and the world of the emerging Renaissance.
