Famous quotes containing the words cross and/or border:
“There is a mountain in the distant West
That, sun-defying, in its deep ravines
Displays a cross of snow upon its side.
Such is the cross I wear upon my breast
These eighteen years, through all the changing scenes
And seasons, changeless since the day she died.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
“Liberal hopefulness
Regards death as a mere border to an improving picture.”
—William Empson (1906–1984)
