Famous quotes containing the word period:

    “There is always a period when a man with a beard shaves it off. This period does not last. He returns headlong to his beard.”
    —Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)

    “His singing carried me back to the period of the discovery of America ... when Europeans first encountered the simple faith of the Indian. There was, indeed, a beautiful simplicity about it; nothing of the dark and savage, only the mild and infantile. The sentiments of humility and reverence chiefly were expressed.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
