Famous quotes containing the words laid and/or threads:
“It should be quite clear, then, that there are no criteria to be laid down in general for distinguishing the real from the not real.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
“How have I been able to live so long outside Nature without identifying myself with it? Everything lives, moves, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays, emanating either from myself or from others, cross the limitless chain of created things unimpeded; it is a transparent network that covers the world, and its slender threads communicate themselves by degrees to the planets and stars. Captive now upon earth, I commune with the chorus of the stars who share in my joys and sorrows.”
—Gérard De Nerval (18081855)
