Common Ancestor

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or ancestor:

    For the discerning intellect of Man,
    When wedded to this goodly universe
    In love and holy passion, shall find these
    A simple produce of the common day.
    MI, long before the blissful hour arrives,
    Would chant, in lonely peace, the spousal verse
    Of this great consummation—
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    In the core of God’s abysm,—
    Was a weed of self and schism;
    And ever the Daemonic Love
    Is the ancestor of wars,
    And the parent of remorse.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
