Famous quotes containing the words wines, die and/or region:
“Mixing one’s wines may be a mistake, but old and new wisdom mix admirably.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
“the blaze
Is infinite, eternal: this is death,
To die and know it. This is the Black Widow, death.”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
“The Heavens. Once an object of superstition, awe and fear. Now a vast region for growing knowledge. The distance of Venus, the atmosphere of Mars, the size of Jupiter, and the speed of Mercury. All this and more we know. But their greatest mystery the heavens have kept a secret. What sort of life, if any, inhabits these other planets? Human life, like ours? Or life extremely lower in the scale. Or dangerously higher.”
—Richard Blake, and William Cameron Menzies. Narrator, Invaders from Mars, at the opening of the movie (1953)
