Famous quotes containing the word sights:

    You shall see men you never heard of before, whose names you don’t know,... and many other wild and noble sights before night, such as they who sit in parlors never dream of.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    We can’t always have the beautiful aspect of things. Let us make the most of our sights that are beautiful and let the others go
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    O Lord, methought what pain it was to drown,
    What dreadful noise of waters in my ears!
    What sights of ugly death within my eyes!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
