Famous quotes containing the words comparison and/or words:
“In everyone’s youthful dreams, philosophy is still vaguely but inseparably, and with singular truth, associated with the East, nor do after years discover its local habitation in the Western world. In comparison with the philosophers of the East, we may say that modern Europe has yet given birth to none.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“For whatever is truly wondrous and fearful in man, never yet was put into words or books.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
