Famous quotes containing the words cave and/or man:
“Do you know how poetry started? I always think that it started when a cave boy came running back to the cave, through the tall grass, shouting as he ran, “Wolf, wolf,” and there was no wolf. His baboon-like parents, great sticklers for the truth, gave him a hiding, no doubt, but poetry had been born—the tall story had been born in the tall grass.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“Every man seeks for truth, but God only knows who has found it.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
