Famous quotes containing the words party, symbol and/or meaning:

    “It is the dissenter, the theorist, the aspirant, who is quitting this ancient domain to embark on seas of adventure, who engages our interest. Omitting then for the present all notice of the stationary class, we shall find that the movement party divides itself into two classes, the actors, and the students.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The horse, the horse! The symbol of surging potency and power of movement, of action, in man.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “The indefatigable pursuit of an unattainable perfection—even though nothing more than the pounding of an old piano—is what alone gives a meaning to our life on this unavailing star.”
    —Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)
