Thin Juice

Famous quotes containing the words thin and/or juice:

    To higher or lower ends, they [the majority of mankind] move too often with something of a sad countenance, with hurried and ignoble gait, becoming, unconsciously, something like thorns, in their anxiety to bear grapes; it being possible for people, in the pursuit of even great ends, to become themselves thin and impoverished in spirit and temper, thus diminishing the sum of perfection in the world, at its very sources.
    Walter Pater (1839–1894)

    Seas of bright juice suffuse heaven.

    The earth by the sky staid with, the daily close of their junction,
    The heav’d challenge from the east that moment over my head,
    The mocking taunt, See then whether you shall be master!
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
