Changed

Famous quotes containing the word changed:

    O! grief hath changed me since you saw me last,
    And careful hours with time’s deformèd hand
    Have written strange defeatures in my face.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I wonder if I’ve been changed in the night? Let me think: was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I’m not the same, the next question is “Who in the world am I?” Ah, that’s the great puzzle!
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    Is it the lumberman, then, who is the friend and lover of the pine, stands nearest to it, and understands its nature best? Is it the tanner who has barked it, or he who has boxed it for turpentine, whom posterity will fable to have been changed into a pine at last? No! no! it is the poet.... All the pines shudder and heave a sigh when that man steps on the forest floor.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
