Twofold Rise

Famous quotes containing the words twofold and/or rise:

    A good sherris-sack hath a twofold operation in it. It
    ascends me into the brain,... makes it apprehensive, quick,
    forgetive, full of nimble, fiery, and delectable shapes.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    If we will admit time into our thoughts at all, the mythologies, those vestiges of ancient poems, wrecks of poems, so to speak, the world’s inheritance,... these are the materials and hints for a history of the rise and progress of the race; how, from the condition of ants, it arrived at the condition of men, and arts were gradually invented. Let a thousand surmises shed some light on this story.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
