Dust Grains

Famous quotes containing the words dust and/or grains:

    A sudden light transfigures a trivial thing, a weather-vane, a wind-mill, a winnowing flail, the dust in the barn door; a moment,—and the thing has vanished, because it was pure effect; but it leaves a relish behind it, a longing that the accident may happen again.
    Walter Pater (1839–1894)

    Many grains of sand piled up will make a pagoda.
    Chinese proverb.
