High Cloud

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or cloud:

    Ay, look: high heaven and earth ail from the prime foundation;
    All thoughts to rive the heart are here, and all are vain:
    Horror and scorn and hate and fear and indignation—
    Oh, why did I awake? When shall I sleep again?
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    Humorists are always pessimists. They’re reactionaries: because they see that every golden cloud has a black lining.
    Christina Stead (1902–1983)
