Famous quotes containing the words living and/or earth:
“Everything has been said, and we have come too late, now that men have been living and thinking for seven thousand years and more.”
—Jean De La Bruyère (1645–1696)
“Poetry is the language in which man explores his own amazement ... says heaven and earth in one word ... speaks of himself and his predicament as though for the first time. It has the virtue of being able to say twice as much as prose in half the time, and the drawback, if you do not give it your full attention, of seeming to say half as much in twice the time.”
—Christopher Fry (b. 1907)
