Famous quotes containing the words line and/or passing:
“I fear I agree with your friend in not liking all sermons. Some of them, one has to confess, are rubbish: but then I release my attention from the preacher, and go ahead in any line of thought he may have started: and his after-eloquence acts as a kind of accompanimentlike music while one is reading poetry, which often, to me, adds to the effect.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (18321898)
“There is no Champollion to decipher the Egypt of every mans and every beings face. Physiognomy, like every other human science, is but a passing fable.”
—Herman Melville (18191891)
