Green Spaces

Famous quotes containing the words green and/or spaces:

“On the green they watched their sons
Playing till too dark to see,
As their fathers watched them once,
As my father once watched me;”

“When I consider the short duration of my life, swallowed up in the eternity before and after, the little space which I fill and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant and which know me not, I am frightened and am astonished at being here rather than there. For there is no reason why here rather than there, why now rather than then.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
