Famous quotes containing the words tombs and/or daniel:
“How old the world is! I walk between two eternities.... What is my fleeting existence in comparison with that decaying rock, that valley digging its channel ever deeper, that forest that is tottering and those great masses above my head about to fall? I see the marble of tombs crumbling into dust; and yet I dont want to die!”
—Denis Diderot (17131784)
“And who in time knowes whither we may vent
The treasure of our tongue, to what strange shores
This gaine of our best glorie shal be sent,
Tinrich unknowing Nations with our stores?
What worlds in thyet unformed Occident
May come refind with thaccents that are ours?”
—Samuel Daniel (c. 15621619)
