Famous quotes containing the words shift and/or left:
“The success of great scholars and thinkers is commonly a courtier-like success, not kingly, not manly. They make shift to live merely by conformity, practically as their fathers did, and are in no sense the progenitors of a nobler race of men.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“my heart leaps
in wonder.
Cold, fresh, deep, I feel the word ‘water’
spelled in my left palm.”
