Famous Quotes & Sayings

Charles Wagner

Man passes; he knows that he is dust; nothing is more evident than his frailty. If he should for a single moment forget it, what a chorus of voices would recall it to him!

In the moments as they pass, he dimly sees eternity, and more than this, he possesses it by anticipation.

There was the one you walked in, the physical echo, and then there was the one that was connected to all the other forests, with no consideration of distance, or time.

Legend and myth, all tangled in an alphabet of trees remembered, not always with understanding, but with wonder. With awe.

Charles de Lint
