Famous quotes containing the words mass and/or planet:
“The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.”

“It was not important that they survive.
What mattered was that they should bear
Some lineament or character,
Some affluence, if only half-perceived,
In the poverty of their words,
Of the planet of which they were part.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
