World Soul

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or soul:

    “Unbreachable the fort
    Of the long-batter’d world uplifts its wall;

    And near and real the charm of thy repose,
    And night as welcome as a friend would fall.”
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    “The soul knows only the soul; the web of events is the flowing robe in which she is clothed.”
