Famous quotes containing the words babylonian and/or territory:
“All’s vast that vastness means. Nay, I affirm
Nature is whole in her least things exprest,
Nor know we with what scope God builds the worm.
Our towns are copied fragments from our breast;
And all man’s Babylons strive but to impart
The grandeurs of his Babylonian heart.”
—Francis Thompson (1859–1907)
“Size is not grandeur, and territory does not make a nation.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
