Distant Worlds

Famous quotes containing the words distant and/or worlds:

“If we confine ourselves to a general and distant reflection on the ills of human life, that can have no effect to prepare us for them. If by close and intense meditation we render them present and intimate to us, that is the true secret for poisoning all our pleasures, and rendering us perpetually miserable.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)

“Between two worlds life hovers like a star,
‘Twixt night and morn, upon the horizon’s verge.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
