Famous quotes containing the words attending and/or countries:
“As for butterflies, I can hardly conceive
of one’s attending upon you; but to question
the congruence of the complement is vain, if it exists.”
—Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
“Fame sometimes hath created something out of nothing. She hath made whole countries more than nature ever did, especially near the poles, and then hath peopled them likewise with inhabitants of her own invention, pigmies, giants, and amazons: yea, fame is sometimes like unto a mushroom, which Pliny recounts to be the greatest miracle in nature, because growing and having no root, as fame no ground of her reports.”
—Thomas Fuller (1608–1661)
