Threads

Famous quotes containing the word threads:

    Illusion, Temperament, Succession, Surface, Surprise, Reality, Subjectiveness,—these are the threads on the loom of time, these are the lords of life.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Parents are like shuttles on a loom. They join the threads of the past with threads of the future and leave their own bright patterns as they go.
    Fred Rogers (20th century)

    How have I been able to live so long outside Nature without identifying myself with it? Everything lives, moves, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays, emanating either from myself or from others, cross the limitless chain of created things unimpeded; it is a transparent network that covers the world, and its slender threads communicate themselves by degrees to the planets and stars. Captive now upon earth, I commune with the chorus of the stars who share in my joys and sorrows.
    Gérard De Nerval (1808–1855)
