Famous quotes containing the words david and/or barrett:
“I am astonished at the singular pertinacity and endurance of our lives. The miracle is, that what is is, when it is so difficult, if not impossible, for anything else to be; that we walk on in our particular paths so far, before we fall on death and fate, merely because we must walk in some path; that every man can get a living, and so few can do anything more. So much only can I accomplish ere health and strength are gone, and yet this suffices.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
““Yes,” I answered you last night,
“No,” this morning, Sir, I say.
Colours seen by candle-light,
Will not look the same by day.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
