Rubble Piles

Famous quotes containing the words rubble and/or piles:

    We often have need of a profound philosophy to restore to our feelings their original state of innocence, to find our way out of the rubble of things alien to us, to begin to feel for ourselves and to speak ourselves, and I might almost say to exist ourselves.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    Immortal glories in my mind revive,
    And in my soul a thousand passions strive,
    When Rome’s exalted beauties I descry
    Magnificent in piles of ruin lie.
    Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
