Famous quotes containing the words shadow and/or king:
“The world,—this shadow of the soul, or other me, lies wide around. Its attractions are the keys which unlock my thoughts and make me acquainted with myself. I run eagerly into this resounding tumult. I grasp the hands of those next to me, and take my place in the ring to suffer and to work, taught by an instinct, that so shall the dumb abyss be vocal with speech.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“So doth the greater glory dim the less:
A substitute shines brightly as a king
Until a king be by.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
