Marble Falls

Famous quotes containing the words marble and/or falls:

    Poets that lasting Marble seek
    Must carve in Latine or in Greek,
    We write in Sand, our Language grows,
    And like the Tide our work o’erflows.
    Edmund Waller (1606–1687)

    “Dark times” is what they call it in Norway when the sun remains below the horizon all day long: the temperature falls slowly but surely at such times.—A nice metaphor for all those thinkers for whom the sun of mankind’s future has temporarily disappeared.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
