Universe Appears

Famous quotes containing the words universe and/or appears:

“How weak and little is the light,
All the universe of sight,
Love and delight,
Before the might,
If you love it not, of night.”
—Edward Thomas (1878–1917)

“When we consider what, to use the words of the catechism, is the chief end of man, and what are the true necessaries and means of life, it appears as if men had deliberately chosen the common mode of living because they preferred it to any other. Yet they honestly think there is no choice left. But alert and healthy natures remember that the sun rose clear. It is never too late to give up our prejudices.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
