Famous quotes containing the words parallel and/or time:
“If from the earth we came, it was an earth
That bore us as a part of all the things
It breeds and that was lewder than it is.
Our nature is her nature. Hence it comes,
Since by our nature we grow old, earth grows
The same. We parallel the mothers death.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
“You all talk like somebody else made these laws and Pharaoh dont know nothing about em. He makes em his own self and hes glad when we come tell him they hurt. why, thats a whole lot of pleasure to him, to be making up laws all the time and to have a crowd like us around handy to pass all his mean ones on. Why, thats a whole everything under the sun! Next thing you know hell be saying cats cant have kittens.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (18911960)
