Fourth Position

Famous quotes containing the words fourth and/or position:

    All night I’ve held your hand,
    as if you had
    a fourth time faced the kingdom of the mad—
    its hackneyed speech, its homicidal eye—
    and dragged me home alive. . . .
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    To be free in an age like ours, one must be in a position of authority. That in itself would be enough to make me ambitious.
    Ernest Renan (1823–1892)
