Double Stars

Famous quotes containing the words double and/or stars:

“The worst feature of this double consciousness is, that the two lives, of the understanding and of the soul, which we lead, really show very little relation to each other; never meet and measure each other: one prevails now, all buzz and din; and the other prevails then, all infinitude and paradise; and, with the progress of life, the two discover no greater disposition to reconcile themselves.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Let the stars of its dawn be dark; let it hope for light, but have none; may it not see the eyelids of the morning—”
—Bible: Hebrew, Job 3:9.
