Famous quotes containing the words higher and/or planes:
“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)
“After the planes unloaded, we fell down
Buried together, unmarried men and women;”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
