Visions

Famous quotes containing the word visions:

    What visions in the dark of light!
    Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

    Three things there be in man’s opinion dear,
    Fame, many friends, and fortune’s dignities:
    False visions all, which in our sense appear,
    To sanctify desire’s idolatry.
    Fulke Greville (1554–1628)

    For the most part we think that there are few degrees of sublimity, and that the highest is but little higher than that which we now behold; but we are always deceived. Sublimer visions appear, and the former pale and fade away.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
