Famous quotes containing the words community, east and/or stand:
“Commitment, by its nature, frees us from ourselves and, while it stands us in opposition to some, it joins us with others similarly committed. Commitment moves us from the mirror trap of the self absorbed with the self to the freedom of a community of shared values.”
—Michael Lewis (late 20th century)
“It is the business of thought to define things, to find the boundaries; thought, indeed, is a ceaseless process of definition. It is the business of Art to give things shape. Anyone who takes no delight in the firm outline of an object, or in its essential character, has no artistic sense.... He cannot even be nourished by Art. Like Ephraim, he feeds upon the East wind, which has no boundaries.”
—Vance Palmer (1885–1959)
“He says he loves my daughter:
I think so too; for never gaz’d the moon
Upon the water as he’ll stand and read
As ‘twere my daughter’s eyes: and, to be plain,
I think there is not half a kiss to choose
Who loves another best.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
