Famous quotes containing the words ancient and/or temple:
“I can forgive even that wrong of wrongs,
Those undreamt accidents that have made me
Seeing that Fame has perished this long while,
Being but a part of ancient ceremony
Notorious, till all my priceless things
Are but a post the passing dogs defile.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“After Voltaire: envy is chained to the portico of the temple of glory and can neither enter nor leave.”
