Famous quotes containing the words distance, light and/or travels:
“I do believe that the outward and the inward life correspond; that if any should succeed to live a higher life, others would not know of it; that difference and distance are one. To set about living a true life is to go on a journey to a distant country, gradually to find ourselves surrounded by new scenes and men; and as long as the old are around me, I know that I am not in any true sense living a new or a better life.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The light that never was, on sea or land,
The consecration, and the Poet’s dream;”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“Evil counsel travels fast.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
