Borrowed Quote by Augustus William Hare

“Few minds are sunlike, sources of light in themselves and to others: many more are moons that shine with a borrowed radiance. One may easily distinguish the two: the former are always full; the latter only now and then, when their suns are shining full upon them.” quote by Augustus William Hare — Download Open image
