Famous quotes containing the words giant and/or wheel:

    “Haze, char, and the weather of All Souls:
    A giant absence mopes upon the trees:”
    —Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    “Everything goes, everything comes back; eternally rolls the wheel of being. Everything dies, everything blossoms again; eternally runs the year of being. Everything breaks, everything is joined anew; eternally the same house of being is built. Everything parts, everything greets every other thing again; eternally the ring of being remains faithful to itself. In every Now, being begins; round every Here rolls the sphere There. The center is everywhere. Bent is the path of eternity.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
