Common Ancestor

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or ancestor:

    All men whilst they are awake are in one common world: but each of them, when he is asleep, is in a world of his own.
    Plutarch (46–120)

    I cannot yet begin to understand
    Why we are proud that an ancestor knew
    The crazy Poe, who was not of our kind
    Bats in the belfry that round and round flew
    In vapors not quite wholesome for the mind.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
