Set Top

Famous quotes containing the words set and/or top:

“I set forth notions that are human and my own, simply as human notions considered in themselves, not as determined and decreed by heavenly ordinance.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

“In all her products, Nature only develops her simplest germs. One would say that it was no great stretch of invention to create birds. The hawk which now takes his flight over the top of the wood was at first, perchance, only a leaf which fluttered in its aisles. From rustling leaves she came in the course of ages to the loftier flight and clear carol of the bird.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
