Famous quotes containing the words century, works and/or paul:

    Not every light is a true light;
    To the wise the light of truth is light itself.
    Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)

    Now they express
    All that’s content to wear a worn-out coat,
    All actions done in patient hopelessness,
    All that ignores the silences of death,
    Thinking no further than the hand can hold,
    All that grows old,
    Yet works on uselessly with shortened breath.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    And is the price for your acceptance for me to conform? To be as you would want me to be?... You must accept me as I am. Do not question.... If my behavior seems different perhaps it is because it serves a higher purpose than to find acceptance in this dull and useless world.
    Pat Fielder, and Paul Landres. Dracula (Francis Lederer)
