Famous quotes containing the words memorable and/or moments:
“And open field, through which the pathway wound,
And homeward led my steps. Magnificent
The morning rose, in memorable pomp,
Glorious as e’er I had beheld—in front,
The sea lay laughing at a distance; near,
The solid mountains shone, bright as the clouds,
Grain-tinctured, drenched in empyrean light;”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“There are thoughts which are prayers. There are moments when, whatever the posture of the body, the soul is on its knees.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
