Working Fire

Famous quotes containing the words working and/or fire:

“Art is the need to create; but in its essence, immense and universal, it is impatient of working with lame or tied hands, and of making cripples and monsters, such as all pictures and statues are. Nothing less than the creation of man and nature is its end.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“I thought I alone suffered,
but suffering is everywhere.
When I went on the housetop
I saw its fire in every home.”
