North Celestial Pole

Famous quotes containing the words north, celestial and/or pole:

    The North is full of tangled things and texts and aching eyes
    And dead is all the innocence of anger and surprise,
    And Christian killeth Christian in a narrow dusty room,
    And Christian dreadeth Christ that hath a newer face of doom,
    And Christian hateth Mary that God kissed in Galilee,
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    He all their ammunition
    And feats of war defeats
    With plain heroic magnitude of mind
    And celestial vigour armed;
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    No exile at the South Pole or on the summit of Mont Blanc separates us more effectively from others than the practice of a hidden vice.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
