Famous quotes containing the words olympiads and, olympiads, top, results, open and/or section:

    “I am ashamed to see what a shallow village tale our so-called History is. How many times must we say Rome, and Paris, and Constantinople! What does Rome know of rat and lizard? What are Olympiads and Consulates to these neighboring systems of being? Nay, what food or experience or succor have they for the Esquimaux seal-hunter, or the Kanaka in his canoe, for the fisherman, the stevedore, the porter?”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The Star that bids the Shepherd fold,
    Now the top of Heav’n doth hold,
    And the gilded Car of Day,
    His glowing Axle doth allay
    In the steep Atlantick stream,”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “It amazes me when I hear any person prefer blindness to deafness. Such a person must have a terrible dread of being alone. Blindness makes one totally dependent on others, and deprives us of every satisfaction that results from light.”
    —Horace Walpole (1717–1797)

    “Rita: Sadie, don’t open the door. It might be the guests.
    Sadie: It can’t be. It’s only seven.
    Rita: Well if it is, they mustn’t see you like that.
    Sadie: If they’re that early, they deserve what they get.”
    —Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)

    “Socialite women meet socialite men and mate and breed socialite children so that we can fund small opera companies and ballet troupes because there is no government subsidy.”
    —Sugar Rautbord, U.S. socialite fund-raiser and self-described “trash” novelist. As quoted in The Great Divide, book 2, section 7, by Studs Terkel (1988)
