Famous quotes containing the words defeated and/or democratic:
“Vanquished in life, his death
By beauty made amends:
The passing of his breath
Won his defeated ends.”

“We have been educated to such a fine—or dull—point that we are incapable of enjoying something new, something different, until we are first told what it’s all about. We don’t trust our five senses; we rely on our critics and educators, all of whom are failures in the realm of creation. In short, the blind lead the blind. It’s the democratic way.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
