Famous quotes containing the words main and/or sights:

    “I have done almost every human activity inside a taxi which does not require main drainage.”
    —Alan Brien (b. 1925)

    “We may have civilized bodies and yet barbarous souls. We are blind to the real sights of this world; deaf to its voice; and dead to its death. And not till we know, that one grief outweighs ten thousand joys will we become what Christianity is striving to make us.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
