World Shadows

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or shadows:

“People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“It is because everything is relative
That we shall never see in that sphere of pure wisdom and
Entertainment much more than groping shadows of an incomplete
Former existence so close it burns like the mouth that
Closes down over all your effort like the moment
Of death”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
