Famous quotes containing the words god and/or told:
“What was he doing, the great god Pan,
Down in the reeds by the river?
Spreading ruin and scattering ban,
Splashing and paddling with hoofs of a goat,
And breaking the golden lilies afloat
With the dragon-fly on the river.”

“George Shears ... was hanged in a barn near the store. The rope was thrown over a beam, and he was asked to walk up a ladder to save the trouble of preparing a drop for him. Gentlemen, he said, I am not used to this business. Shall I jump off or slide off? He was told to jump.”
—For the State of Montana, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
