Famous quotes containing the word chain:
“How have I been able to live so long outside Nature without identifying myself with it? Everything lives, moves, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays, emanating either from myself or from others, cross the limitless chain of created things unimpeded; it is a transparent network that covers the world, and its slender threads communicate themselves by degrees to the planets and stars. Captive now upon earth, I commune with the chorus of the stars who share in my joys and sorrows.”
—Gérard De Nerval (18081855)
“Loyalty to petrified opinions never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul in this worldand never will.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (18351910)
“From Natures chain whatever link you strike,
Tenth or ten thousandth, breaks the chain alike.”
—Alexander Pope (16881744)
