Famous quotes containing the words comparison of, comparison and/or guns:
“When we reflect on our past sentiments and affections, our thought is a faithful mirror, and copies its objects truly; but the colours which it employs are faint and dull, in comparison of those in which our original perceptions were clothed.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“In everyone’s youthful dreams, philosophy is still vaguely but inseparably, and with singular truth, associated with the East, nor do after years discover its local habitation in the Western world. In comparison with the philosophers of the East, we may say that modern Europe has yet given birth to none.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Again the guns disturbed the hour,
Roaring their readiness to avenge,
As far inland a Stourton Tower,
And Camelot, and starlit Stonehenge.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
