Famous quotes containing the words henry and/or brooke:

    Of moral purpose I see no trace in Nature. That is an article of exclusively human manufacture—and very much to our credit.
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    But the best I’ve known
    Stays here, and changes, breaks, grows old, is blown
    About the winds of the world, and fades from brains
    Of living men, and dies.
    —Rupert Brooke (1887–1915)
