Reaches

Famous quotes containing the word reaches:

“We are only what we are; not what we would be; nor every thing we hope for. We are but a step in a scale, that reaches further above us than below.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“However low a man sinks he never reaches the level of the police.”
—Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)

““O father! O father! now, now, keep your hold,
The Erl-King has seized me—his grasp is so cold!

Sore trembled the father; he spurr’d thro’ the wild,
Clasping close to his bosom his shuddering child;
He reaches his dwelling in doubt and in dread,
But, clasp’d to his bosom, the infant was dead.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1799–1832)
