King Philip Appears

Famous quotes containing the words king, philip and/or appears:

    Of an old King in a story
    From the grey sea-folk I have heard,
    Whose heart was no more broken
    Than the wings of a bird.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    Anxious to publicise and pay our dues
    Contracted here, we, Bernard Noel Hughes
    And Philip Arthur Larkin, do desire
    To requite and to reward those whom we choose;
    To thank our friends, before our time expire,
    And those whom, if not friends, we yet admire.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Young people love what is interesting and odd, no matter how true or false it is. More mature minds love what is interesting and odd about truth. Fully mature intellects, finally, love truth, even when it appears plain and simple, boring to the ordinary person; for they have noticed that truth tends to reveal its highest wisdom in the guise of simplicity.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
