Famous quotes containing the words famous and/or fires:
“Let the famous not denounce fame. Far from being empty and meaningless, it fills those it touches with divine power.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“When a thought of Plato becomes a thought to me,—when a truth that fired the soul of Pindar fires mine, time is no more. When I feel that we two meet in a perception, that our two souls are tinged with the same hue, and do as it were run into one, why should I measure degrees of latitude, why should I count Egyptian years?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
