Famous quotes containing the words double, summer and/or time:
“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)
“I know I am but summer to your heart,
And not the full four seasons of the year.”
—Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
“Then not only an old man, but also a drunkard, becomes a second time a child.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
