Famous quotes containing the words left and/or attached:
“with our bones
We left much more, left what still is
The look of things, left what we felt
At what we saw.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Well, most men have bound their eyes with one or another handkerchief, and attached themselves to some of these communities of opinion. This conformity makes them not false in a few particulars, authors of a few lies, but false in all particulars. Their every truth is not quite true. Their two is not the real two, their four not the real four; so that every word they say chagrins us and we know not where to set them right.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
