Golden Pass

Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or pass:

    “Who chooseth me must give and hazard all he hath.”
    Must give—for what? for lead, hazard for lead?
    This casket threatens. Men that hazard all
    Do it in hope of fair advantages;
    A golden mind stoops not to shows of dross.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Love’s secrets, being mysteries, ever pertain to the transcendent and the infinite; and so they are as airy bridges, by which our further shadows pass over into the regions of the golden mists and exhalations; whence all poetical, lovely thoughts are engendered, and drop into us, as though pearls should drop from rainbows.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
