Famous quotes containing the words eagle and/or pass:

    “You will see Coleridge—he who sits obscure
    In the exceeding lustre and the pure
    Intense irradiation of a mind,
    Which, with its own internal lightning blind,
    Flags wearily through darkness and despair—
    A cloud-encircled meteor of the air,
    A hooded eagle among blinking owls.”
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    “If ever a man and his wife, or a man and his mistress, who pass nights as well as days together, absolutely lay aside all good breeding, their intimacy will soon degenerate into a coarse familiarity, infallibly productive of contempt or disgust.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
