Quotes About Majesty

In one creative thought a thousand forgotten nights of love come to life again and fill it with majesty and exaltation.

Trans. by David Young. (W. W. Norton & Company; 1 edition, June 17, 2006) Originally published 1923.

Going up that river was like travelling back to the earliest beginnings of the world, when vegetation rioted on the earth and the big trees were kings. An empty stream, a great silence, an impenetrable forest. The air was warm, thick, heavy, sluggish. There was no joy in the brilliance of sunshine. The long stretches of the waterway ran on, deserted, into the gloom of overshadowed distances.

We must change our lives, so that it will be possible to live by the contrary assumption that what is good for the world will be good for us. . .

For it is only on the condition of humility and reverence before the world that our species will be able to remain in it.
~ Wendell Berry

~ Dorothy Dunnett
The Answer to the Great Question... Of Life, the Universe and Everything... Is... Forty-two,' said Deep Thought, with infinite majesty and calm.
