Adventure Outlines

Famous quotes containing the words adventure and/or outlines:

    Happy a while in Paradise they lay;
    But quickly woman longed to go astray:
    Some foolish new adventure needs must prove,
    And the first devil she saw, she chang’d her love:
    To his temptations, lewdly she inclined
    Her soul, and, for an apple, damn’d mankind.
    Thomas Otway (1652–1685)

    When the world was half a thousand years younger all events had much sharper outlines than now. The distance between sadness and joy, between good and bad fortune, seemed to be much greater than for us; every experience had that degree of directness and absoluteness which joy and sadness still have in the mind of a child
    Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
