State High

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or high:

“Wisdom has lost repute because it so often applies to a state of affairs that no longer exists.”

“I had a thought for no one’s but your ears:
That you were beautiful, and that I strove
To love you in the old high way of love;
That it had all seemed happy, and yet we’d grown
As weary-hearted as that hollow moon.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
