Famous quotes containing the words friends, earth and/or australia:
“Those friends have left.
Only stumps remain
in the thickets
and we’ve grown old, besides.
Love’s been cut off
at the roots.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
“Let Rome in Tiber melt and the wide arch
Of the ranged empire fall! Here is my space.
Kingdoms are clay; our dungy earth alike
Feeds beast as man. The nobleness of life
Is to do thus; when such a mutual pair
And such a twain can do ‘t, in which I bind,
On pain of punishment, the world to weet
We stand up peerless.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I like Australia less and less. The hateful newness, the democratic conceit, every man a little pope of perfection.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
