Famous quotes containing the words high, grass and/or circus:

    And the shuttle never falters, but to draw an encouraging conclusion
    From this would be considerable, too odd. Why not just
    Breathe in with the courage of each day, recognizing yourself as one
    Who must with difficulty get down from high places?
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive ...
    Eleonora Duse (1859–1924)

    Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey-cage.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
