Golden Screen

Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or screen:

    How doth the little crocodile
    Improve his shining tale,
    And pour the waters of the Nile
    On every golden scale!
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    We like the chase better than the quarry.... And those who philosophize on the matter, and who think men unreasonable for spending a whole day in chasing a hare which they would not have bought, scarce know our nature. The hare in itself would not screen us from the sight of death and calamities; but the chase, which turns away our attention from these, does screen us.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
