Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or hebrew:
“Sir Walter Raleigh might well be studied, if only for the excellence of his style, for he is remarkable in the midst of so many masters. There is a natural emphasis in his style, like a man’s tread, and a breathing space between the sentences, which the best of modern writing does not furnish. His chapters are like English parks, or say rather like a Western forest, where the larger growth keeps down the underwood, and one may ride on horseback through the openings.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.”
—Bible: Hebrew Genesis 3:16.
