Close Encounters

Famous quotes containing the words close and/or encounters:

“I remember, I remember
The fir trees dark and high;
I used to think their slender tops
Were close against the sky;
It was a childish ignorance,
But now ‘tis little joy
To know I’m further off from Heaven
Than when I was a boy.”
—Thomas Hood (1799–1845)

“Death’s an old joke, but each individual encounters it anew.”
—Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
