Public Spheres

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or spheres:

“Take example by your father, my boy, and be very careful o’ widders all your life, specially if they’ve kept a public house, Sammy.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

“It launch’d forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself,
Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them.

And you O my soul where you stand,
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space,
Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them,
Till the bridge you will need be form’d, till the ductile anchor hold,
Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O, my soul.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
