Neutral Spirits

Famous quotes containing the words neutral and/or spirits:

    The seashore is a sort of neutral ground, a most advantageous point from which to contemplate this world. It is even a trivial place. The waves forever rolling to the land are too far-traveled and untamable to be familiar. Creeping along the endless beach amid the sun-squall and the foam, it occurs to us that we, too, are the product of sea-slime.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Love casts the mighty from their thrones,
    promotes the insecure,
    leaves hungry spirits satisfied,
    the rich seem suddenly poor.
    Miriam Therese Winter (20th century)
