Seventh Century

Famous quotes containing the words seventh century and/or seventh:

    When he bit
    that bud of her lower lip,
    she started,
    shook a finger,
    arched her brow,
    and hissed,
    “Leave me alone, you fool,”
    her eyes narrowing into slits.
    Whoever kisses
    such a haughty woman
    wins the drink of immortality.
    Those idiot gods
    churned the ocean
    for nothing.
    Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

    Thus we steadily worship Mammon, both school and state and church, and on the seventh day curse God with a tintamar from one end of the Union to the other.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
