Men

Famous quotes containing the word men:

    —These are men whose minds the Dead have ravished
    Memory fingers in their hair of murders,
    Multitudinous murders they once witnessed.

    Did the first men who thought of fasting put themselves on this regimen on their physician’s order, because they had indigestion?
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    I was not born to be forced. I will breathe after my own fashion. Let us see who is the strongest. What force has a multitude? They can only force me who obey a higher law than I....

    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
