Famous quotes containing the words sun and/or goddesses:

    “I was not much afeard; for once or twice
    I was about to speak, and tell him plainly,
    The selfsame sun that shines upon his court
    Hides not his visage from our cottage, but
    Looks on alike.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The apple tree has been celebrated by the Hebrews, Greeks, Romans, and Scandinavians. Some have thought that the first human pair were tempted by its fruit. Goddesses are fabled to have contended for it, dragons were set to watch it, and heroes were employed to pluck it.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
