Current King

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or king:

“What in fact have I achieved, however much it may seem? Bits and pieces ... trivialities. But here they won’t tolerate anything else, or anything more. If I wanted to take one step in advance of the current views and opinions of the day, that would put paid to any power I have. Do you know what we are ... those of us who count as pillars of society? We are society’s tools, neither more nor less.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)

“...if I perish, I perish.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Esther 4:16.

Queen Esther, as she gathers strength to go to the king on behalf of her people.
