Omai Gold Seekers

Famous quotes containing the words gold and/or seekers:

    “Arrive in the afternoon, the late light slanting
    In diluted gold bars across the boulevard brag
    Of proud, seamed faces with mercy and murder hinting
    here, there, interrupting, all deep and debonair,
    The pink paint on the innocence of fear;
    Walk in a gingerly manner up the hall.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    “Quite apart from any conscious program, the great cultural historians have always been historical morphologists: seekers after the forms of life, thought, custom, knowledge, art.”
    —Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
