Famous quotes containing the words sage and/or lineage:
“The sage as astronomer.—As long as you still experience the stars as something “above you,” you still lack viewpoint of knowledge.”

“I declare
Two lineages electrify the air,
That will like pennons from a mast
Fly over sleep and life and death
Till sun is powerless to decoy
A single seed above the earth:
Lineage of sorrow: lineage of joy....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
