Famous quotes containing the words edge and/or darkness:
“Neither a borrower nor a lender be,
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“And we, with all our wounds and all our powers,
Must each await alone at his own height
Another darkness or another light;”
—Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
