Drops

Famous quotes containing the word drops:

    It is plain that there is no separate essence called courage, no cup or cell in the brain, no vessel in the heart containing drops or atoms that make or give this virtue; but it is the right or healthy state of every man, when he is free to do that which is constitutional to him to do.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Year chases year, decay pursues decay,
    Still drops some joy from with’ring life away;
    New forms arise, and diff’rent views engage,
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    Now it is autumn and the falling fruit
    and the long journey towards oblivion.
    The apples falling like great drops of dew
    to bruise themselves an exit from themselves.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
