Famous quotes containing the words david and/or thomson:
“The world rests on principles.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Thus Winter falls,
A heavy gloom oppressive o’er the world
Through Nature shedding influence malign,
And rouses up the seeds of dark disease.
The soul of man dies in him, loathing life,
And black with more than melancholy views.”
—James Thomson (1700–1748)
