Famous quotes containing the words symbol and/or table:
“There is that in me—I do not know what it is—but I know it is in me ...

It is not in any dictionary, utterance, symbol ...

It is not chaos or death—it is form, union, plan—it is eternal life—it is Happiness.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.”
