Famous quotes containing the words ancient and/or egypt:

    “To some extent, mythology is only the most ancient history and biography. So far from being false or fabulous in the common sense, it contains only enduring and essential truth, the I and you, the here and there, the now and then, being omitted. Either time or rare wisdom writes it.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “It flows through old hushed Egypt and its sands,
    Like some grave mighty thought threading a dream,”
    —Leigh Hunt (1784–1859)
