Famous quotes containing the words man, fell and/or earth:

    In the beautiful, man sets himself up as the standard of perfection; in select cases he worships himself in it.... Man believes that the world itself is filled with beauty—he forgets that it is he who has created it. He alone has bestowed beauty upon the world—alas! only a very human, an all too human, beauty.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    I loved, but woman fell away;
    I hid me from her faded fame.
    I snatched the sun’s eternal ray
    And wrote till earth was but a name.
    John Clare (1793–1864)

    Grace! ‘tis a charming Sound,
    Harmonious to my Ear!
    Heav’n with the Echo shall resound,
    And all the Earth shall hear.
    Philip Doddridge (1702–1751)
