Famous quotes containing the words flame and/or tree:
“I would that we were, my beloved, white birds on the foam of the sea!
We tire of the flame of the meteor, before it can fade and flee;
And the flame of the blue star of twilight, hung low on the rim of the sky,
Has awaked in our hearts, my beloved, a sadness that may not die.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
““Where the tree of knowledge stands, there is always paradise”: thus speak the oldest and the youngest serpents.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
