Moon Crystal Power

Famous quotes containing the words moon, crystal and/or power:

    “Though it seems improbable on the face of it
    You must master the huge retards and have faith in the slow
    Blossoming of haystacks, stairways, walls of convolvulus,
    Until the moon can do no more. Exhausted,
    You get out of bed. Your project is completed
    Though the experiment is a mess.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “Wise men read very sharply all your private history in your look and gait and behavior. The whole economy of nature is bent on expression. The tell-tale body is all tongues. Men are like Geneva watches with crystal faces which expose the whole movement.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The distinction, which we often make betwixt power and the exercise of it, is equally without foundation.”
    —David Hume (1711–1776)
