Pyramid King

Famous quotes containing the words pyramid and/or king:

“So universal and widely related is any transcendent moral greatness, and so nearly identical with greatness everywhere and in every age,—as a pyramid contracts the nearer you approach its apex,—that, when I look over my commonplace-book of poetry, I find that the best of it is oftenest applicable, in part or wholly, to the case of Captain Brown.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“I think the King is but a man, as I am. The violet smells to
him as it doth to me.”
