Famous quotes containing the words small, icy and/or moons:

    “We must remain as close to the flowers, the grass, and the butterflies as the child is who is not yet so much taller than they are. We adults, on the other hand, have outgrown them and have to lower ourselves to stoop down to them. It seems to me that the grass hates us when we confess our love for it.—Whoever would partake of all good things must understand how to be small at times.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Like to the Pontic Sea,
    Whose icy current and compulsive course
    Ne’er knows retiring ebb, but keeps due on
    To the Propontic and the Hellespont,
    Even so my bloody thoughts with violent pace
    Shall ne’er look back, ne’er ebb to humble love,
    Till that a capable and wide revenge
    Swallow them up.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Since moons decay and suns decline,
    How else should end this life of mine?”
    —John Masefield (1878–1967)
