Famous quotes containing the word passes:
“Nature is a temple where living pillars
Sometimes emit confused words;
Man passes through forests of symbols
Which observe him with familiar looks.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“That night was the turning-point in the season. We had gone to bed in summer, and we awoke in autumn; for summer passes into autumn in some imaginable point of time, like the turning of a leaf.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The zoo cannot but disappoint. The public purpose of zoos is to offer visitors the opportunity of looking at animals. Yet nowhere in a zoo can a stranger encounter the look of an animal. At the most, the animal’s gaze flickers and passes on. They look sideways. They look blindly beyond.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
