Sides

Famous quotes containing the word sides:

    A mountain chain determines many things for the statesman and philosopher. The improvements of civilization rather creep along its sides than cross its summit. How often is it a barrier to prejudice and fanaticism!
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A voice I heard—and near I yede—
    In great dolour complaining tho:
    ‘See, dear soul, my sides bleed,
    Quia amore langueo.
    Unknown. Quia Amore Langueo (l. 5–8)

    A Dungeon horrible, on all sides round
    As one great Furnace flam’d, yet from those flames
    No light, but rather darkness visible
    Serv’d only to discover sights of woe,
    Regions of sorrow, doleful shades, where peace
    And rest can never dwell, hope never comes
    That comes to all; but torture without end
    John Milton (1608–1674)
