Famous quotes containing the words recall and/or facts:

    ““Why wouldn’t it scare me to have a fire
    Begin in smudge with ropy smoke, and know
    That still, if I repent, I may recall it,
    But in a moment not: a little spurt
    Of burning fatness, and then nothing but
    The fire itself can put it out, and that
    By burning out....””
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.... I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
