Famous quotes containing the word deeper:
“But misery still delights to trace
Its semblance in anothers case.
No voice divine the storm allayd,
No light propitious shone;
When, snatchd from all effectual aid,
We perishd, each alone:
But I beneath a rougher sea,
And whelmd in deeper gulphs than he.”
—William Cowper (17311800)
“... deeper
and deeper into Imaginations
holy forest, as travelers
followed the Zohars dusty
shimmering roads ...”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“Most Americans are born drunk, and really require a little wine or beer to sober them. They have a sort of permanent intoxication from within, a sort of invisible champagne.... Americans do not need to drink to inspire them to do anything, though they do sometimes, I think, need a little for the deeper and more delicate purpose of teaching them how to do nothing.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (18741936)
