Gradually Began

Famous quotes containing the words gradually and/or began:

“I do believe that the outward and the inward life correspond; that if any should succeed to live a higher life, others would not know of it; that difference and distance are one. To set about living a true life is to go on a journey to a distant country, gradually to find ourselves surrounded by new scenes and men; and as long as the old are around me, I know that I am not in any true sense living a new or a better life.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“All we discover has been with us since the sun began to roll; and much we discover, is not worth the discovering.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
