Famous quotes containing the words north, shore and/or line:

    “There are no whole truths; all truths are half-truths. It is trying to treat them as whole truths that plays the devil.”
    —Alfred North Whitehead (1861–1947)

    “Who heeds the waste abyss of possibility? The ocean is everywhere the same, but it has no character until seen with the shore or the ship.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “What comes over a man, is it soul or mind
    That to no limits and bounds he can stay confined?
    You would say his ambition was to extend the reach
    Clear to the Arctic of every living kind.
    Why is his nature forever so hard to teach
    That though there is no fixed line between wrong and right,
    There are roughly zones whose laws must be obeyed?”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
