Famous quotes containing the words shape of, shape and/or earth:

    “Caught by the spectacle my mind turned round
    As with the might of waters; an apt type
    This label seemed of the utmost we can know,
    Both of ourselves and of the universe;
    And, on the shape of that unmoving man,
    His steadfast face and sightless eyes, I gazed,
    As if admonished from another world.”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    “We shape our buildings: thereafter they shape us.”
    —Winston Churchill (1874–1965)

    “When heaven doth weep, doth not the earth o’erflow?
    If the winds rage, doth not the sea wax mad,
    Threatening the welkin with his big-swollen face?”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
