Famous quotes containing the words morning and/or glory:
“The repose of sleep refreshes only the body. It rarely sets the soul at rest. The repose of the night does not belong to us. It is not the possession of our being. Sleep opens within us an inn for phantoms. In the morning we must sweep out the shadows.”
—Gaston Bachelard (1884–1962)
“The glory of my name increases my shame. Less known by mortals, I could better escape their eyes.”
—Jean Racine (1639–1699)
