Man Standing

Famous quotes containing the words man and/or standing:

    “Lost at night in an immense forest, I only have a small light to guide me. A man appears who tells me: “My friend, blow out your candle in order to find your way.” This man is a theologian.
    The sea, fluid garden filled with animals and plants.”
    —Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)

    “Instead of calling on some scholar, I paid many a visit to particular trees, of kinds which are rare in this neighborhood, standing far away in the middle of some pasture, or in the depths of a wood or swamp, or on a hilltop.... These were the shrines I visited both summer and winter.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
