Famous quotes containing the words eternal, wings and/or lost:
“Genius detects through the fly, through the caterpillar, through the grub, through the egg, the constant individual; through countless individuals the fixed species; through many species the genus; through all genera the steadfast type; through all the kingdoms of organized life the eternal unity. Nature is a mutable cloud which is always and never the same.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“And this is the moral—Stick to your sphere,
Or if you insist, as you have a right,
On spreading your wings for a loftier flight,
The moral is—Take care how you light.”
—John Townsend Trowbridge (1827–1916)
“We’d like to fight but we fear defeat,
We’d like to work but we’re feeling too weak,
We’d like to be sick but we’d get the sack,
We’d like to behave, we’d like to believe,
We’d like to love, but we’ve lost the knack.”
—Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)
