Mixed Climbs

Famous quotes containing the words mixed and/or climbs:

“Love sits enthroned in Clara’s eyes,
The Graces play her lips around,
And in her cheeks the tendrest dyes
Of lilly mixed with rose are found.
Where charms so irresistless throng
What mortal heart can try resistance?
But ah! her nose is two feet long,
And bids our passions keep their distance.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)

“Follow in the footsteps of your fathers’ virtue! How could you hope to climb high unless your fathers’ will climbs with you?”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
