Human Lineage

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or lineage:

“The sun, the moon and the stars would have disappeared long ago ... had they happened to be within the reach of predatory human hands.”

“I declare
Two lineages electrify the air,
That will like pennons from a mast
Fly over sleep and life and death
Till sun is powerless to decoy
A single seed above the earth:
Lineage of sorrow: lineage of joy....”
