Yesterday/origins

Famous quotes containing the words yesterday and/or origins:

    It seems only yesterday that we saw
    The movie with the cows in it
    And turned to one at your side, who burped
    As morning saw a new garnet-and-pea-green order propose
    Itself out of the endless bathos, like science-fiction lumps.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Lucretius
    Sings his great theory of natural origins and of wise conduct; Plato
    smiling carves dreams, bright cells
    Of incorruptible wax to hive the Greek honey.
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
