Dark Tone

Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or tone:

    On Linden, when the sun was low,
    All bloodless lay the untrodden snow,
    And dark as winter was the flow
    Of Iser, rolling rapidly.
    Thomas Campbell (1774–1844)

    It makes me hate accepting things that are probable when they are held up before me as infallibly true. I prefer these words which tone down and modify the hastiness of our propositions: “Perhaps, In some sort, Some, They say, I think,” and the like.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
