Famous quotes containing the words search, transition and/or comets:
“The search for happiness ... always ends in the ghastly sense of the bottomless nothingness into which you will inevitably fall if you strain any further.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“There is not any present moment that is unconnected with some future one. The life of every man is a continued chain of incidents, each link of which hangs upon the former. The transition from cause to effect, from event to event, is often carried on by secret steps, which our foresight cannot divine, and our sagacity is unable to trace. Evil may at some future period bring forth good; and good may bring forth evil, both equally unexpected.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
“When beggars die there are no comets seen;
The heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
