Famous quotes containing the words middle and/or kingdom:

    “So here I am, in the middle way, having had twenty years—
    Twenty years largely wasted, the years of l’entre deux guerres—
    Trying to learn to use words, and every attempt
    Is a wholly new start, and a different kind of failure....”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “In the whole vast dome of living nature there reigns an open violence, a kind of prescriptive fury which arms all the creatures to their common doom: as soon as you leave the inanimate kingdom you find the decree of violent death inscribed on the very frontiers of life.”
    —Joseph De Maistre (1753–1821)
