Distance Vision

Famous quotes containing the words distance and/or vision:

    The distance that the dead have gone
    Does not at first appear—
    Their coming back seems possible
    For many an ardent year.
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    To stroll is a science, it is the gastronomy of the eye. To walk is to vegetate, to stroll is to live.... To stroll is to enjoy, it is to assume a mind-set, it is to admire the sublime pictures of unhappiness, of love, of joy, of graceful or grotesque portraits; it is to plunge one’s vision to the depths of a thousand existences: young, it is to desire everything; old, it is to live the life of the young, to marry their passions.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)
