Famous quotes containing the words reputed, miraculous and/or events:
“Some are reputed sick and some are not. It often happens that the sicker man is the nurse to the sounder.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Don’t they know that God gave them
their miraculous sickness
like a shield, like armor
and if their eyes are in the wrong
part of their heads, they shouldn’t complain?
What are they doing seeing their doctors
when the world’s up for grabs.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“If I have renounced the search of truth, if I have come into the port of some pretending dogmatism, some new church, some Schelling or Cousin, I have died to all use of these new events that are born out of prolific time into multitude of life every hour. I am as bankrupt to whom brilliant opportunities offer in vain. He has just foreclosed his freedom, tied his hands, locked himself up and given the key to another to keep.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
