Famous quotes containing the words inferior, deep and/or nodes:

    “Th’ inferior priestess, at her altar’s side,
    Trembling, begins the sacred rites of pride.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    “So hills and valleys into singing break;
    And though poor stones have neither speech nor tongue,
    While active winds and streams both run and speak,
    Yet stones are deep in admiration.
    Thus praise and prayer here beneath the Sun
    Make lesser mornings when the great are done.”
    —Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

    “There are characters which are continually creating collisions and nodes for themselves in dramas which nobody is prepared to act with them. Their susceptibilities will clash against objects that remain innocently quiet.”
    —George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
