Famous quotes containing the words alloy and/or content:

    I live in the angle of a leaden wall, into whose composition was poured a little alloy of bell-metal. Often, in the repose of my mid-day, there reaches my ears a confused tintinnabulum from without. It is the noise of my contemporaries.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Life must be filled up, and the man who is not capable of intellectual pleasures must content himself with such as his senses can afford.
