Famous quotes containing the words beauty and/or beast:
“Fair seed-time had my soul, and I grew up
Fostered alike by beauty and by fear:”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“For man, the vast marvel is to be alive. For man, as for flower and beast and bird, the supreme triumph is to be most vividly, most perfectly alive. Whatever the unborn may know, they cannot know the beauty, the marvel of being alive in the flesh. The dead may look after the afterwards. But the magnificent here and now of life in the flesh is ours, and ours alone, and ours only for a time.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
