Famous quotes containing the words darker and/or ages:
“One night, under cover of darkness, and further concealed in a most cunning disguisement, a desperate burglar slid into his happy home, and robbed them all of everything. And darker yet to tell, the blacksmith himself did ignorantly conduct this burglar into his family’s heart. It was the Bottle Conjurer! Upon the opening of that fatal cork, forth flew the fiend, and shrivelled up his home.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Ideas devour the ages as men are devoured by their passions. When man is cured, human nature will cure itself perhaps.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
