Famous quotes containing the words tying and/or run:
“To the young mind, every thing is individual, stands by itself. By and by, it finds how to join two things, and see in them one nature; then three, then three thousand; and so, tyrannized over by its own unifying instinct, it goes on tying things together, diminishing anomalies, discovering roots running underground, whereby contrary and remote things cohere, and flower out from one stem.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Hobbies are apt to run away with us, you know; it doesn’t do to be run away with. We must keep the reins.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
