Riding

Famous quotes containing the word riding:

“But the lightning which explodes and fashions planets, maker of planets and suns, is in him. On one side elemental order, sandstone and granite, rock-ledges, peat-bog, forest, sea and shore; and on the other part, thought, the spirit which composes and decomposes nature,—here they are, side by side, god and devil, mind and matter, king and conspirator, belt and spasm, riding peacefully together in the eye and brain of every man.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

Death-light of Africa!
Don John of Austria
Is riding to the sea.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

“Art, whose honesty must work through artifice, cannot avoid cheating truth.”
—Laura Riding (1901–1991)
