Famous quotes containing the word high:

    “The best conversation is rare. Society seems to have agreed to treat fictions as realities, and realities as fictions; and the simple lover of truth, especially if on very high grounds, as a religious or intellectual seeker, finds himself a stranger and alien.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
