Famous quotes containing the words main and/or sights:
“The Temptress has now been shown hereterrible. The story, Garbo, everything is extremely bad. It is no exaggeration to say that I was dreadful. I was tired, I couldnt sleep and everything went wrong. But the main reason is, I suppose, that Im no actress.”
—Greta Garbo (19051990)
“We may have civilized bodies and yet barbarous souls. We are blind to the real sights of this world; deaf to its voice; and dead to its death. And not till we know, that one grief outweighs ten thousand joys will we become what Christianity is striving to make us.”
—Herman Melville (18191891)
