Famous quotes containing the word caves:
“Repent, repent, and from old errors turn!
Who listened to his voice, obeyed his cry?
Only the echoes, which he made relent,
Rung from their marble caves Repent! Repent!”
—William Drummond, of Hawthornden (15851649)
“After Buddha was dead, his shadow was still shown for centuries in a cavea tremendous, gruesome shadow. God is dead; but given the way of man, there may still be caves for thousands of years in which his shadow will be shown.And wewe still have to vanquish his shadow, too.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
“Full many a gem of purest ray serene,
The dark unfathomd caves of ocean bear:
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen,
And waste its sweetness on the desert air.”
—Thomas Gray (17161771)
