Rises

Famous quotes containing the word rises:

“Love is a garment
riven in the light
that rises from Parnassus,
showing
the night is over.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

“If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.”
—Bible: New Testament, Luke 16:31.

““A man,” said Oliver Cromwell, “never rises so high as when he knows not whither he is going.” Dreams and drunkenness, the use of opium and alcohol are the semblance and counterfeit of this oracular genius, and hence their dangerous attraction for men. For the like reason they ask the aid of wild passions, as in gaming and war, to ape in some manner these flames and generosities of the heart.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
