Famous quotes containing the words jewel and/or cave:
“Good name in man and woman, dear my lord,
Is the immediate jewel of their souls.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Do you know how poetry started? I always think that it started when a cave boy came running back to the cave, through the tall grass, shouting as he ran, “Wolf, wolf,” and there was no wolf. His baboon-like parents, great sticklers for the truth, gave him a hiding, no doubt, but poetry had been born—the tall story had been born in the tall grass.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
