Famous quotes containing the words olympian and/or zeus:
“GOETHE, raised o’er joy and strife,
Drew the firm lines of Fate and Life,
And brought Olympian wisdom down
To court and mar, to gown and town,
Stooping, his finger wrote in clay
The open secret of to-day.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“And Zeus will destroy this race of mortal men too, when they, at their birth, have grey hair on their temples.”
