Black Cloak Society

Famous quotes containing the words black, cloak and/or society:

    “We lay long in the immense tide
    Of shade and shadowy desire
    And saw the dusk assail the wall,
    The black surge, mounting, crash the stone!
    Companion of this lust, we fall,
    I said lest we should die alone.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “Freedom’s secret wilt thou know?—
    Counsel not with flesh and blood;
    Loiter not for cloak or food;
    Right thou feelest, rush to do.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Whenever the society is dissolved, it is certain the government of that society cannot remain ... that being as impossible, as for the frame of a house to subsist when the materials of it are scattered and dissipated by a whirlwind, or jumbled into a confused heap by an earthquake.”
    —John Locke (1632–1704)
