Celestial Bodies

Famous quotes containing the words celestial and/or bodies:

    “Man will rise, if God by exception lends him a hand; he will rise by abandoning and renouncing his own means, and letting himself be raised and uplifted by purely celestial means.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “Love is sinister,
    is mean to us in separation;
    makes our thin bodies thinner.
    This fellow Death
    lacks mercy
    and is good at counting our days.
    And Master,
    you, too, are subject
    to the plague of jealousy
    so think:
    how could womenfolk,
    soft as sprouts,
    live like this?”
    —Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
