Vanish

Famous quotes containing the word vanish:

    The slightest living thing answers a deeper need than all the works of man because it is transitory. It has an evanescence of life, or growth, or change: it passes, as we do, from one stage to the another, from darkness to darkness, into a distance where we, too, vanish out of sight. A work of art is static; and its value and its weakness lie in being so: but the tuft of grass and the clouds above it belong to our own travelling brotherhood.
    Freya Stark (b. 1893–1993)

    But the impressions which the morning makes vanish with its dews, and not even the most “persevering mortal” can preserve the memory of its freshness to midday.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    We seem but to linger in manhood to tell the dreams of our childhood, and they vanish out of memory ere we learn the language.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
