Deny Flight

Famous quotes containing the words deny and/or flight:

“Whoever no longer finds greatness in God no longer finds it anywhere—he must either deny it or create it.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“In all her products, Nature only develops her simplest germs. One would say that it was no great stretch of invention to create birds. The hawk which now takes his flight over the top of the wood was at first, perchance, only a leaf which fluttered in its aisles. From rustling leaves she came in the course of ages to the loftier flight and clear carol of the bird.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
