Famous quotes containing the words time and/or span:
“They know time comes, not only you and I,
But the whose world shall whiten, here or there;”
—James Elroy Flecker (1884–1919)
“To me, however, the question of the times resolved itself into a practical question of the conduct of life. How shall I live? We are incompetent to solve the times. Our geometry cannot span the huge orbits of the prevailing ideas, behold their return, and reconcile their opposition. We can only obey our own polarity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
