Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or habits:

    Life is the lust of a lamp for the light that is dark till the dawn
    of the day when we die.
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)

    Though there are wreck-masters appointed to look after valuable property which must be advertised, yet undoubtedly a great deal of value is secretly carried off. But are we not all wreckers contriving that some treasure may be washed up on our beach, that we may secure it, and do we not infer the habits of these Nauset and Barnegat wreckers, from the common modes of getting a living?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
