Famous quotes containing the words falls, church, high and/or school:
“The light of her face falls from its flower,
as a hyacinth,
hidden in a far valley,
perishes upon burnt grass.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“The form of act or thought mattered nothing. The hymns of David, the plays of Shakespeare, the metaphysics of Descartes, the crimes of Borgia, the virtues of Antonine, the atheism of yesterday and the materialism of to-day, were all emanation of divine thought, doing their appointed work. It was the duty of the church to deal with them all, not as though they existed through a power hostile to the deity, but as instruments of the deity to work out his unrevealed ends.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“It was a high counsel that I once heard given to a young person,—”Always do what you are afraid to do.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Their school a crowd, his master solitude;
Through Jonathan Swift’s dark grove he passed, and there
Plucked bitter wisdom that enriched his blood.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
