Famous quotes containing the words separation and/or distance:
“The scholar was not raised by the sacred thoughts amongst which he dwelt, but used them to selfish ends. He was a profane person, and became a showman, turning his gifts to marketable use, and not to his own sustenance and growth. It was found that the intellect could be independently developed, that is, in separation from the man, as any single organ can be invigorated, and the result was monstrous.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“I see nobody on the road, said Alice.
I only wish I had such eyes, the King remarked in a fretful tone. To be able to see Nobody! And at that distance too! Why, its as much as I can do to see real people, by this light!”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (18321898)
