Famous quotes containing the word creation:

    “If they had said that the sun or the moon had gone out of the heavens, it could not have struck me with the idea of a more awful and dreary blank in creation than the words: “Byron is dead!””
    —Jane Welsh Carlyle (1801–1866)

    “Language ought to be the joint creation of poets and manual workers.”
    —George Orwell (1903–1950)

    “The very austerity of the Brahmans is tempting to the devotional soul, as a more refined and nobler luxury. Wants so easily and gracefully satisfied seem like a more refined pleasure. Their conception of creation is peaceful as a dream.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
