Collins Crystal Cave

Famous quotes containing the words collins, crystal and/or cave:

    The head must bow, and the back will have to bend,
    Wherever the darkey may go;
    A few more days, and the trouble all will end,
    In the field where the sugar-canes grow.
    A few more days for to tote the weary load,—
    No matter, ‘t will never be light;
    A few more days till we totter on the road:—
    Then my old Kentucky home, good-night!
    —Stephen Collins Foster (1826–1884)

    But the thing that I saw in your face
    No power can disinherit:
    No bomb that ever burst
    Shatters the crystal spirit.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)

    Mankind which began in a cave and behind a windbreak will end in the disease-soaked ruins of a slum.
    —H.G. (Herbert George)
