Famous quotes containing the words grant and/or town:
“Therefore I summon age
To grant youth’s heritage,
Life’s struggle having so far reached its term:”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
“All of childhood’s unanswered questions must finally be passed back to the town and answered there. Heroes and bogey men, values and dislikes, are first encountered and labeled in that early environment. In later years they change faces, places and maybe races, tactics, intensities and goals, but beneath those penetrable masks they wear forever the stocking-capped faces of childhood.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
