Famous quotes containing the words fire, giant and/or king:
“The sky it seems would pour down stinking pitch,
But that the sea, mounting to the welkins cheek,
Dashes the fire out.”

“Haze, char, and the weather of All Souls:

“I dont think Dr. King helped racial harmony, I think he helped racial justice. What I profess to do is help the oppressed and if I cause a load of discomfort in the white community and the black community, that in my opinion means Im being effective, because Im not trying to make them comfortable. The job of an activist is to make people tense and cause social change.”
—Al, Reverend Sharpton (b. 1954)
