Famous quotes containing the word resemblance:

    The mind, that ocean where each kind
    Does straight its own resemblance find;
    Yet it creates, transcending these,
    Far other worlds, and other seas.
    Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    Meanwhile the mind from pleasure less
    Withdraws into its happiness;
    The mind, that ocean where each kind
    Does straight its own resemblance find;
    Yet it creates, transcending these,
    Far other worlds and other seas,
    Annihilating all that’s made
    To a green thought in a green shade,
    Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    The dignified catastrophes of tragedy bear little resemblance to the slow ruin inflicted by life.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
