Famous quotes containing the words empty and/or chamber:
“Fact I know; and Law I know; but what is this Necessity, save an empty shadow of my own mind’s throwing?”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
“O birds, your perfect virtues bring,
Your song, your forms, your rhythmic flight,
Your manners for your heart’s delight,
Nestle in hedge, or barn, or roof,
Here weave your chamber weather-proof,
Forgive our harms, and condescend
To man, as to a lubber friend,
And, generous, teach his awkward race
Courage, and probity, and grace!”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
