Famous quotes containing the words greater and/or region:
“Creative writers are always greater than the causes that they represent.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“Then, that no region of the universe
Should remain void of life, the floor of heaven
Was peopled with the stars and godlike forms,
The seas became the abode of glittering fish.
Earth took the beasts and mobile air the birds.
A holier animal was wanting.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
