Million Pilgrims Visit

Famous quotes containing the words million, pilgrims and/or visit:

“Denotation by means of sounds and markings is a remarkable abstraction. Three letters designate God for me; several lines a million things. How easy becomes the manipulation of the universe here, how evident the concentration of the intellectual world! Language is the dynamics of the spiritual realm. One word of command moves armies; the word liberty entire nations.”
—Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)

“Like pilgrims to th’ appointed place we tend;
The world’s an inn, and death the journey’s end.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)

“Conscience is a mother-in-law whose visit never ends.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
