Lonely Goatherd

Famous quotes containing the words lonely and/or goatherd:

    “In his lonely solitude, the solitary man feeds upon himself; in the thronging multitude, the many feed upon him. Now choose.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Say that the men of the old black tower
    Though they but feed as the goatherd feeds,
    Their money spent, their wine gone sour,

    That all are oath-bound men;
    Those banners come not in.”
