Famous quotes containing the words hidden, object and/or game:
“A hidden strength
Which if Heavn gave it, may be termd her own:
Tis chastity, my brother, chastity:
She that has that, is clad in compleat steel,
And like a quiverd Nymph with Arrows keen
May trace huge Forests, and unharbourd Heaths,
Infamous Hills, and sandy perilous wildes,
Where through the sacred rayes of Chastity,
No savage fierce, Bandite, or mountaneer
Will dare to soyl her Virgin purity,”
—John Milton (16081674)
“There is no object so foul that intense light will not make beautiful. And the stimulus it affords to the sense, and a sort of infinitude which it hath, like space and time, make all matter gay. Even the corpse has its own beauty.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“Peoples affections can be as thin as paper; life is like a game of chess, changing with each move.”
