Famous quotes containing the words dans and/or run:
“The intellect longs for the delights of the non-intellect, that which is alive and beautiful dans sa stupidité.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“The use of symbols has a certain power of emancipation and exhilaration for all men. We seem to be touched by a wand, which makes us dance and run about happily, like children. We are like persons who come out of a cave or cellar into the open air. This is the effect on us of tropes, fables, oracles, and all poetic forms. Poets are thus liberating gods.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
