Famous quotes containing the words mother, earth and/or temptation:
“And I could see that child’s one eye
Which seemed to laugh, and say with glee:
‘What caused my death you’ll never know—
Perhaps my mother murdered me.’
”

“Could it be that wisdom appears on earth as a raven, drawn by the faint smell of carrion?”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“If, in looking at the lives of princes, courtiers, men of rank and fashion, we must perforce depict them as idle, profligate, and criminal, we must make allowances for the rich men’s failings, and recollect that we, too, were very likely indolent and voluptuous, had we no motive for work, a mortal’s natural taste for pleasure, and the daily temptation of a large income. What could a great peer, with a great castle and park, and a great fortune, do but be splendid and idle?”
—William Makepeace Thackeray (1811–1863)
