Bleak Book

Famous quotes containing the words bleak and/or book:

    “Silent rushes the swift Lord
    Through ruined systems still restored,
    Broadsowing, bleak and void to bless,
    Plants with worlds the wilderness;
    Waters with tears of ancient sorrow
    Apples of Eden ripe to-morrow.
    House and tenant go to ground,
    Lost in God, in Godhead found.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “A book is quite a beautiful thing, even more so learning. Together, however, all they amount to is called book-learning.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
