Expression

Famous quotes containing the word expression:

“They are not callow like the young of most birds, but more perfectly developed and precocious even than chickens. The remarkably adult yet innocent expression of their open and serene eyes is very memorable. All intelligence seems reflected in them. They suggest not merely the purity of infancy, but a wisdom clarified by experience. Such an eye was not born when the bird was, but is coeval with the sky it reflects. The woods do not yield another such a gem.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“I have always looked upon decay as being just as wonderful and rich an expression of life as growth.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)

“All expression of truth does at length take this deep ethical form.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
