Brother David

Famous quotes containing the words brother and/or david:

    Your brother and my sister no sooner met but they looked;
    no sooner looked but they loved; no sooner loved but they
    sighed; no sooner sighed but they asked one another the
    reason; no sooner knew the reason but they sought the
    remedy.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I was glad to have got out of the towns, where I am wont to feel unspeakably mean and disgraced,—to have left behind me for a season the bar-rooms of Massachusetts, where the full-grown are not weaned from savage and filthy habits,—still sucking a cigar. My spirits rose in proportion to the outward dreariness. The towns needed to be ventilated. The gods would be pleased to see some pure flames from their altars. They are not to be appeased with cigar-smoke.
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
