David Young

Famous quotes containing the words david and/or young:

“I grow savager and savager every day, as if fed on raw meat, and my tameness is only the repose of untamableness. I dream of looking abroad summer and winter, with free gaze, from some mountain-side,... to be nature looking into nature with such easy sympathy as the blue-eyed grass in the meadow looks in the face of the sky. From some such recess I would put forth sublime thoughts daily, as the plant puts forth leaves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Whoever neglects the arts when he is young has lost the past and is dead to the future.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
