Famous quotes containing the words wide and/or form:
“Victorious men of earth, no more
Proclaim how wide your empires are;
Though you bind in every shore
And your triumphs reach as far
As night or day,
Yet you, proud monarchs, must obey
And mingle with forgotten ashes, when
Death calls ye to the crowd of common men.”
—James Shirley (1596–1666)
“Those who live by the sea can hardly form a single thought of which the sea would not be part.”
—Hermann Broch (1886–1951)
