Veil Falls

Famous quotes containing the words veil and/or falls:

“It is not an arbitrary “decree of God,” but in the nature of man, that a veil shuts down on the facts of to-morrow; for the soul will not have us read any other cipher than that of cause and effect. By this veil, which curtains events, it instructs the children of men to live in to-day.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“If that the earth could teem with woman’s tears,
Each drop she falls would prove a crocodile.”
