Jupiter Masses

Famous quotes containing the words jupiter and/or masses:

    If Jupiter should hurl a bolt whenever men sin,
    His armory would quickly be empty.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    Listen, my friend, there are two races of beings. The masses teeming and happy—common clay, if you like—eating, breeding, working, counting their pennies; people who just live; ordinary people; people you can’t imagine dead. And then there are the others—the noble ones, the heroes. The ones you can quite well imagine lying shot, pale and tragic; one minute triumphant with a guard of honor, and the next being marched away between two gendarmes.
    Jean Anouilh (1910–1987)
