Famous quotes containing the word soar:

    “[Allegory] should ... be very sparingly practised, lest, whilst the writer plays with his own fancies and diverts himself by cutting the air with his wide spread wings, he should soar out of view of his readers, leaving them in confusion and perplexity to explore his viewless track.”
    —Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

    “These growing feathers plucked from Caesar’s wing
    Will make him fly an ordinary pitch,
    Who else would soar above the view of men,
    And keep us all in servile fearfulness.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “We are a race of tit-men, and soar but little higher in our intellectual flights than the columns of the daily paper.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
