Famous quotes containing the word heavens:
“There is, however, this consolation to the most way-worn traveler, upon the dustiest road, that the path his feet describe is so perfectly symbolical of human life,now climbing the hills, now descending into the vales. From the summits he beholds the heavens and the horizon, from the vales he looks up to the heights again. He is treading his old lessons still, and though he may be very weary and travel-worn, it is yet sincere experience.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“DORIS: Heres the two of spades.
DUSTY: The two of spades!
THATS THE COFFIN!!
DORIS: THATS THE COFFIN?
Oh good heavens whatll I do?
Just before a party too!”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Romeo, of dead, should be cut up into little stars to make the heavens fine. Life, with this pair, has no other aim, asks no more, than Juliet,than Romeo.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
