Common Ancestor

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or ancestor:

    They sang, but had not human tunes nor words,
    Though all was done in common as before;

    They had changed their throats and had the throats of birds.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    In the core of God’s abysm,—
    Was a weed of self and schism;
    And ever the Daemonic Love
    Is the ancestor of wars,
    And the parent of remorse.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
