Famous quotes containing the words true and/or histories:
“The only true madness is loneliness,
the monotonous voice in the skull
that never stops
because never heard.”
—John Montague (b. 1929)
“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)
