Famous quotes containing the words fame and/or ice:
“I have made a very rude translation of the Seven against Thebes, and Pindar too I have looked at, and wish he was better worth translating.

However, I have not done with Pindar yet.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Goodness and evil never share the same road, just as ice and charcoal never share the same container.”
