Passions Site

Famous quotes containing the words passions and/or site:

    Our passions are most like to floods and streams,
    The shallow murmur, but the deep are dumb.
    Sir Walter Raleigh (1552–1618)

    That is a pathetic inquiry among travelers and geographers after the site of ancient Troy. It is not near where they think it is. When a thing is decayed and gone, how indistinct must be the place it occupied!
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
