Famous quotes containing the words ancestral and/or spirits:

“Children, behold the Chimpanzee:
He sits on the ancestral tree
From which we sprang in ages gone.”

“The infernal storm, eternal in its rage, sweeps and drives the spirits with its blast; it whirls them, lashing them with punishment. When they are swept back past their place of judgment then come the shrieks, laments, and anguished cries; there they blaspheme God’s almighty power.”
—Dante Alighieri (1265–1321)
