Famous quotes containing the words ancient and/or kingdom:

    “The mouth of the drowned dog. After long rain the land
    Was sodden as the bed of an ancient lake,
    Treed with iron and birdless.”
    —Ted Hughes (b. 1930)

    “He is a strong man who can hold down his opinion. A man cannot utter two or three sentences, without disclosing to intelligent ears precisely where he stands in life and thought, namely, whether in the kingdom of the senses and the understanding, or, in that of ideas and imagination, in the realm of intuitions and duty.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
