Famous quotes containing the words follow and/or dark:

    “There is nothing holy nor sacred to those who have abandoned God and reason in order to follow their perverse desires.”
    —François Rabelais (1494–1553)

    “—the dark ajar, the rocks breaking with light,
    and undisturbed, unbreathing flame,
    colorless, sparkless, freely fed on straw,
    and, lulled within, a family with pets,
    —and looked and looked our infant sight away.”
    —Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
