Void Safe

Famous quotes containing the words void and/or safe:

“The man Shelley, in very truth, is not entirely sane, and Shelley’s poetry is not entirely sane either. The Shelley of actual life is a vision of beauty and radiance, indeed, but availing nothing, effecting nothing. And in poetry, no less than in life, he is a beautiful and ineffectual angel, beating in the void his luminous wings in vain.””
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

“It is always safe to learn, even from our enemies; seldom safe to venture to instruct, even our friends.”
—C.C. (Charles Caleb)
