Liberty Bell/becoming A Symbol 1847%e2%80%931865

Famous quotes containing the words liberty, bell and/or symbol:

    Mutual repect implies discretion and reserve even in love itself; it means preserving as much liberty as possible to those whose life we share. We must distrust our instinct of intervention, for the desire to make one’s own will prevail is often disguised under the mask of solicitude.
    Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)

    Every time you hear a bell ring, it means that some angel’s just got his wings.
    Frances Goodrich (1891–1984)

    A symbol is indeed the only possible expression of some invisible essence, a transparent lamp about a spiritual flame; while allegory is one of many possible representations of an embodied thing, or familiar principle, and belongs to fancy and not to imagination: the one is a revelation, the other an amusement.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
