Famous quotes containing the words top and/or rack:
“In all her products, Nature only develops her simplest germs. One would say that it was no great stretch of invention to create birds. The hawk which now takes his flight over the top of the wood was at first, perchance, only a leaf which fluttered in its aisles. From rustling leaves she came in the course of ages to the loftier flight and clear carol of the bird.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Vex not his ghost. O, let him pass; he hates him
That would upon the rack of this tough world
Stretch him out longer.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
