Famed Afar

Famous quotes containing the words famed and/or afar:

“When went there by an age, since the great Flood,
But it was famed with more than with one man?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“The man of genius, like a dog with a bone, or the slave who has swallowed a diamond, or a patient with the gravel, sits afar and retired, off the road, hangs out no sign of refreshment for man and beast, but says, by all possible hints and signs, I wish to be alone,—good-by,—fare-well. But the Landlord can afford to live without privacy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
