Famous quotes containing the word gods:
“I was glad to have got out of the towns, where I am wont to feel unspeakably mean and disgraced,—to have left behind me for a season the bar-rooms of Massachusetts, where the full-grown are not weaned from savage and filthy habits,—still sucking a cigar. My spirits rose in proportion to the outward dreariness. The towns needed to be ventilated. The gods would be pleased to see some pure flames from their altars. They are not to be appeased with cigar-smoke.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Sad mortals! thus the gods still plague you!
He lost his labor, I my jest;
For he was drowned, and I’ve the ague.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
