Surviving Son

Famous quotes containing the words surviving and/or son:

    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. I was so absorbed in him as to be surprised whenever I detected the routine of the natural world surviving still, or met persons going about their affairs indifferent.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A few days later the younger son gathered all he had and traveled to a distant country, and there he squandered his property in dissolute living.
