Noble Truth

Famous quotes containing the words noble and/or truth:

    “How rare to be born a human being!
    Wash him off with cedar-bark and milkweed
    send the damned doctors home.
    Baby, baby, noble baby,
    Noble-hearted baby”
    —Gary Snyder (b. 1930)

    “The newspapers, I perceive, devote some of their columns specially to politics or government without charge; and this, one would say, is all that saves it; but as I love literature and to some extent the truth also, I never read those columns at any rate. I do not wish to blunt my sense of right so much.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
