Famous quotes containing the words deep and/or space:
“There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society where none intrudes

I love not man the less, but nature more,”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“... the space left to freedom is very small. ... ends are inherent in human nature and the same for all.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
