Gates Foundation

Famous quotes containing the words gates and/or foundation:

“We’ve cracked the hemispheres with careless hand!
Now, from the Gates of Hercules we flood

Westward, westward till the barbarous brine
Whelms us to the tired world where tasseling corn,
Fat beans, grapes sweeter than muscadine
Rot on the vine: in the land were we born.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)

“But in every constitution some large degree of animal vigor is necessary as material foundation for the higher qualities of the art.”
