Famous quotes containing the words keen and/or sage:
“Let fame, that all hunt after in their lives,
Live registered upon our brazen tombs,
And then grace us in the disgrace of death;
When spite of cormorant devouring Time,
Th’ endeavor of this present breath may buy
That honor which shall bate his scythe’s keen edge,
And make us heirs of all eternity.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The sage as astronomer.—As long as you still experience the stars as something “above you,” you still lack viewpoint of knowledge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
