Famous quotes containing the words laurel and/or heights:
“The graceful flowers of innocence are more valuable than the laurel crown of fame.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“Give me the keys. I feel for the common chord again,
Sliding by semi-tones till I sink to a minor,—yes,
And I blunt it into a ninth, and I stand on alien ground,
Surveying a while the heights I rolled from into the deep;
Which, hark, I have dared and done, for my resting-place is found,
The C Major of this life: so, now I will try to sleep.”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
