Sparks/people

Famous quotes containing the words sparks and/or people:

    “The genius of reading and of gardening are antagonistic, like resinous and vitreous electricity. One is concentrative in sparks and shocks: the other is diffuse strength; so that each disqualifies its workman for the other’s duties.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “I hadn’t an illusion in my handbag
    About the people being better there
    Than those I left behind. I thought they weren’t.
    I thought they couldn’t be. And yet they were.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
