Equivalent Strength

Famous quotes containing the words equivalent and/or strength:

    I started off rapping for people just like myself, people who were in awe of wealth and flash. It was a conversation between me and them. But now most of those who buy my records are listening in on others’ conversation. They are the aural equivalent of voyeurs, thrilled at this crazy world that has nothing to do with their experience.
    Ice-T [Tracy Marrow], U.S. rap musician. Observer (London, Oct. 27, 1991)

    on thy brow
    Shall sit a nobler grace than now.
    Deep in the brightness of the skies
    The thronging years in glory rise.
    And, as they fleet,
    Drop strength and riches at thy feet.
    William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)
