Famous quotes containing the word the:

    And yet we constantly reclaim some part of that primal spontaneity through the youngest among us, not only through their sorrow and anger but simply through everyday discoveries, life unwrapped. To see a child touch the piano keys for the first time, to watch a small body slice through the surface of the water in a clean dive, is to experience the shock, not of the new, but of the familiar revisited as though it were strange and wonderful.
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    Life is a series of surprises, and would not be worth taking or keeping, if it were not. God delights to isolate us every day, and hide from us the past and the future.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    As for the author, he is profoundly unaware of what the classical or romantic genre might consist of.... In literature, as in all things, there is only the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly, the true and the false.
    Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
