Famous quotes containing the words earth and/or masses:
“Parched body, hollow eyes, some uncouth thing
Made him appear, long since from earth exiled.”
—William Drummond, of Hawthornden (1585–1649)
“Listen, my friend, there are two races of beings. The masses teeming and happy—common clay, if you like—eating, breeding, working, counting their pennies; people who just live; ordinary people; people you can’t imagine dead. And then there are the others—the noble ones, the heroes. The ones you can quite well imagine lying shot, pale and tragic; one minute triumphant with a guard of honor, and the next being marched away between two gendarmes.”
—Jean Anouilh (1910–1987)
