Glass

Famous quotes containing the word glass:

“Thou didst create the night, but I made the lamp.
Thou didst create clay, but I made the cup.
Thou didst create the deserts, mountains and forests,
I produced the orchards, gardens and groves.
It is I who made the glass out of stone,
And it is I who turn a poison into an antidote.”
—Muhammad, Sir Iqbal (1873–1938)

Th’observed of all observers.”

“Nor do I try to keep a garden, only
An avocado in a glass of water—”
