Famous quotes containing the words dark, age and/or book:
“The soul’s dark cottage, battered and decayed,
Lets in new light through chinks that Time has made:
Stronger by weakness, wiser men become
As they draw near to their eternal home.
Leaving the old, both worlds at once they view
That stand upon the threshold of the new.”
—Edmund Waller (1606–1687)
“Raise children for your old age as you would store up grain against famine.”
—Chinese proverb.
“A book that furnishes no quotations is, me judice, no book—it is a plaything.”
