Famous quotes containing the words celestial and/or orientation:
“Happy those early days! when I
Shined in my angel-infancy.
Before I understood this place
Appointed for my second race,
Or taught my soul to fancy aught
But a white, celestial thought;”
—Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)
“Every orientation presupposes a disorientation.”
—Hans Magnus Enzensberger (b. 1929)
