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 Times endless tunnel, does the winged soul, like a night-hawk, wend her wild way; and finds eternities before and behind; and her last limit is her everlasting beginning.”
—Herman Melville (18191891)
“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)
