Famous quotes containing the words michael, arts and/or center:

    Sometimes we have to go through the darkness alone, before we can see the light.
    —Adele Comandini. Edward Sutherland. Michael O’Brien (Charles Winninger)

    If we will admit time into our thoughts at all, the mythologies, those vestiges of ancient poems, wrecks of poems, so to speak, the world’s inheritance,... these are the materials and hints for a history of the rise and progress of the race; how, from the condition of ants, it arrived at the condition of men, and arts were gradually invented. Let a thousand surmises shed some light on this story.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    My center is giving way, my right is in retreat; situation excellent. I shall attack.
    Ferdinand Foch (1851–1929)
