Famous quotes containing the words fire, giant and/or king:
“Is not prayer also a study of truth,—a sally of the soul into the unfound infinite? No man ever prayed heartily, without learning something. But when a faithful thinker, resolute to detach every object from personal relations, and see it in the light of thought, shall, at the same time, kindle science with the fire of the holiest affections, then will God go forth anew into creation.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Hip is the sophistication of the wise primitive in a giant jungle.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“Never alone
Did the King sigh, but with a general groan.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
