Famous quotes containing the word regions:

    “Within the regions of the air,
    Compassed about with heavens fair,
    Great tracts of land there may be found
    Enriched with fields and fertile ground;
    Where many numerous hosts
    In those far distant coasts,
    For other great and glorious ends,
    Inhabit, my yet unknown friends.”
    —Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)

    “What is a television apparatus to man, who has only to shut his eyes to see the most inaccessible regions of the seen and the never seen, who has only to imagine in order to pierce through walls and cause all the planetary Baghdads of his dreams to rise from the dust.”
    —Salvador Dali (1904–1989)

    “It is doubtful whether anyone who has travelled widely has found anywhere in the world regions more ugly than in the human face.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
