Famous quotes containing the words sky and/or appearance:

    “And shall the earth
    Seem all of paradise that we shall know?
    The sky will be much friendlier then than now,
    A part of labor and a part of pain,
    And next in glory to enduring love,
    Not this dividing and indifferent blue.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “The fear of death is indeed the pretence of wisdom, and not real wisdom, being the appearance of knowing the unknown.”
    —Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
