Million Words

Famous quotes containing the words million and/or words:

    Creation destroys as it goes, throws down one tree for the rise of another. But ideal mankind would abolish death, multiply itself million upon million, rear up city upon city, save every parasite alive, until the accumulation of mere existence is swollen to a horror.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Canst thou copy in verse one chime
    Of the wood-bell’s peal and cry,
    Write in a book the morning’s prime,
    Or match with words the tender sky?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
