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)
“they stand so still
in the thunder air, all strangers to one another
as the green grass glows upwards, strangers in the garden.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“One does not set fire to a world which is already lost.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
