Enemy Piece

Famous quotes containing the words enemy and/or piece:

    Life is a thin narrowness of taken-for-granted, a plank over a canyon in a fog. There is something under our feet, the taken-for-granted. A table is a table, food is food, we are we—because we don’t question these things. And science is the enemy because it is the questioner. Faith saves our souls alive by giving us a universe of the taken-for-granted.
    Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1968)

    Gloucester. O, let me kiss that hand!
    Lear. Let me wipe it first, it smells of mortality.
    Gloucester. O ruined piece of nature! This great world
    Shall so wear out to nought.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
