Famous quotes containing the words hard and/or court:
“Language is filled
with words for deprivation
images so familiar
it is hard to crack language open
into that other country
the country of being.”

“Universal empire is the prerogative of a writer. His concerns are with all mankind, and though he cannot command their obedience, he can assign them their duty. The Republic of Letters is more ancient than monarchy, and of far higher character in the world than the vassal court of Britain.”
—Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
