Gold Experience

Famous quotes containing the words gold and/or experience:

    In the gold mouth of a flower
    the black smell of spring earth.
    No more skulls on our desks
    but the pervasive
    testing of death....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Knowledge is to be acquired only by a corresponding experience. How can we know what we are told merely? Each man can interpret another’s experience only by his own.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
