Famous quotes containing the words tales, perilous and/or realm:

    “The very nursery tales of this generation were the nursery tales of primeval races. They migrate from east to west, and again from west to east; now expanded into the “tale divine” of bards, now shrunk into a popular rhyme.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “We have not given science too big a place in our education, but we have made a perilous mistake in giving it too great a preponderance in method in every other branch of study.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    “Most men are like me. They cannot live in a universe where the most bizarre thought can in one second enter into the realm of reality—where, most often, it does enter, like a knife in a heart.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)
