True Histories

Famous quotes containing the words true and/or histories:

    That one true heart was left behind!
    What feeling do we ever find
    To equal among human kind
    A dog’s fidelity!”
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    The delicious faces of children, the beauty of school-girls, “the sweet seriousness of sixteen,” the lofty air of well-born, well-bred boys, the passionate histories in the looks and manners of youth and early manhood, and the varied power in all that well-known company that escort us through life,—we know how these forms thrill, paralyze, provoke, inspire, and enlarge us.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
