Famous quotes containing the word visited:
“It is the work of a brave man surely, in whom there was no guile! He rounded this water with his hand, deepened and clarified it in his thought, and in his will bequeathed it to Concord. I see by its face that it is visited by the same reflection; and I can almost say, Walden, is it you?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Understand that your pain will never equal the injustice that is visited upon man, and, finally, listen to my advice. I do owe you advice since I just killed your husband.
Pray to your God that he make you like stone.”
—Albert Camus 1913–9160, French-Algerian novelist, dramatist, philosopher. Gallimard (1958)
“The hardiest skeptic who has seen a horse broken, a pointer trained, or has visited a menagerie or the exhibition of the Industrious Fleas, will not deny the validity of education. “A boy,” says Plato, “is the most vicious of all beasts;” and in the same spirit the old English poet Gascoigne says, “A boy is better unborn than untaught.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
