Famous quotes containing the words orange and/or mystery:
“He hangs in shades the orange bright,
Like golden lamps in a green night,
And does in the pomegranates close
Jewels more rich than Ormus shows;
He makes the figs our mouths to meet,
And throws the melons at our feet;
But apples plants of such a price
No tree could ever bear them twice.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
“A wonderful fact to reflect upon, that every human creature is constituted to be that profound secret and mystery to every other.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
