Common Side

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or side:

    “What climbs the stair?
    Nothing that common women ponder on
    If you are worth my hope! Neither Content
    Nor satisfied Conscience, but that great family
    Some ancient famous authors misrepresent,
    The Proud Furies each with her torch on high.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Every fact is related on one side to sensation, and, on the other, to morals. The game of thought is, on the appearance of one of these two sides, to find the other: given the upper, to find the under side.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
