Famous quotes containing the words fires and/or burn:
“When a thought of Plato becomes a thought to me,—when a truth that fired the soul of Pindar fires mine, time is no more. When I feel that we two meet in a perception, that our two souls are tinged with the same hue, and do as it were run into one, why should I measure degrees of latitude, why should I count Egyptian years?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I’m on my half of the bed,
my face turned away,
and my heart’s now aflame with regret.
So why do you burn my back, too,
with your hot sighs?”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
