Famous quotes containing the words ancient and/or egypt:

    I am ... willing to admit that some people might live there for years, or even a lifetime, so protected that they never sense the sweet stench of corruption that is all around them—the keen, thin scent of decay that pervades everything and accuses with a terrible accusation the superficial youthfulness, the abounding undergraduate noise, that fills those ancient buildings.
    Thomas Merton (1915–1968)

    Go down, Moses
    ‘Way down in Egypt land,
    Tell ole Pharaoh,
    To let my people go.
    Unknown. Go Down, Moses (l. 1–4)
