Famous quotes containing the words lime, green and/or set:
“In our large cities, the population is godless, materialized,—no bond, no fellow-feeling, no enthusiasm. These are not men, but hungers, thirsts, fevers, and appetites walking. How is it people manage to live on,—so aimless as they are? After their peppercorn aims are gained, it seems as if the lime in their bones alone held them together, and not any worthy purpose.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“So that’s why you’re green around the gills. Spring comes to the bushveldt, the young bucks start butting their heads together.”
—Leigh Brackett (1915–1978)
“Whoever wants to set a good example must add a grain of foolishness to his virtue: then others can imitate and yet at the same time surpass the one they imitate—which human beings love to do.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
