Period Comets

Famous quotes containing the words period and/or comets:

    In a period of a people’s life that bears the designation “transitional,” the task of a thinking individual, of a sincere citizen of his country, is to go forward, despite the dirt and difficulty of the path, to go forward without losing from view even for a moment those fundamental ideals on which the entire existence of the society to which he belongs is built.
    Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)

    I know
    No answer to the children’s cry
    Of echo’s answer and the man of frost
    And ghostly comets over the raised fists.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
