Famous quotes containing the words nightingale, sang, berkeley and/or square:

    I envy no man’s nightingale or spring;
    Nor let them punish me with loss of rhyme,
    Who plainly say, My God, My King.
    George Herbert (1593–1633)

    Oh as I was young and easy in the mercy of his means,
    Time held me green and dying
    Though I sang in my chains like the sea.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    The most ingenious men are now agreed, that [universities] are only nurseries of prejudice, corruption, barbarism, and pedantry.
    —George Berkeley (1685–1753)

    After the planet becomes theirs, many millions of years will have to pass before a beetle particularly loved by God, at the end of its calculations will find written on a sheet of paper in letters of fire that energy is equal to the mass multiplied by the square of the velocity of light. The new kings of the world will live tranquilly for a long time, confining themselves to devouring each other and being parasites among each other on a cottage industry scale.
    Primo Levi (1919–1987)
