Distant Object

Famous quotes containing the words distant and/or object:

“Till, in a distant town,
Towns on from mine—
I sat me down;
This was a dream.”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

“Perchance the time will come when every house even will have not only its sleeping-rooms, and dining-room, and talking-room or parlor, but its thinking-room also, and the architects will put it into their plans. Let it be furnished and ornamented with whatever conduces to serious and creative thought. I should not object to the holy water, or any other simple symbol, if it were consecrated by the imagination of the worshipers.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
