Surviving Person

Famous quotes containing the words surviving and/or person:

    For my own part, I commonly attend more to nature than to man, but any affecting human event may blind our eyes to natural objects.

    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A person who looks different all the time frightens me. Only one animal changes its skin: the snake.
