Famous quotes containing the words browne and/or line:
“Man is a noble animal, splendid in ashes, and pompous in the grave.”
—Thomas Browne (1605–1682)
“What comes over a man, is it soul or mind
That to no limits and bounds he can stay confined?
You would say his ambition was to extend the reach
Clear to the Arctic of every living kind.
Why is his nature forever so hard to teach
That though there is no fixed line between wrong and right,
There are roughly zones whose laws must be obeyed?”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
