Brought

Famous quotes containing the word brought:

    In great cities men are brought together by the desire of gain. They are not in a state of co-operation, but of isolation, as to the making of fortunes; and for all the rest they are careless of neighbours. Christianity teaches us to love our neighbour as ourself; modern society acknowledges no neighbour.
    Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)

    At the thick of the dark
    the moment of the cold’s
    deepest plunge we brought branches
    cut from the green trees

    to fill our need,
    William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

    How much more intense is the excitement wrought in the feelings of a crowd by the contemplation of human agony, than that brought about by the most appalling spectacles of inanimate matter.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
