Quest Acquired

Famous quotes containing the words quest and/or acquired:

    “Thou art the unanswered question;
    Couldst see thy proper eye,
    Alway it asketh, asketh;
    And each answer is a lie.
    So take thy quest through nature,
    It through thousand natures ply;
    Ask on, thou clothed eternity;
    Time is the false reply.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Each religious sect has its own physiognomy. The Methodists have acquired a face; the Quakers, a face; the nuns, a face. An Englishman will pick out a dissenter by his manners.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
