Silent Era

Famous quotes containing the words silent and/or era:

    The silent vertebrate in brown
    Contracts and concentrates, withdraws;
    Rachel née Rabinovitch
    Tears at the grapes with murderous paws.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book! The book exists for us, perchance, that will explain our miracles and reveal new ones. The at present unutterable things we may find somewhere uttered.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
