Famous quotes containing the words life and/or thread:
“I have almost forgot the taste of fears.
The time has been, my senses would have cooled
To hear a night-shriek, and my fell of hair
Would at a dismal treatise rouse and stir
As life were in’t. I have supped full with horrors;
Direness, familiar to my slaughterous thoughts,
Cannot once start me.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“One sought not absolute truth. One sought only a spool on which to wind the thread of history without breaking it.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
