National Place

Famous quotes containing the words national and/or place:

    “But the creative person is subject to a different, higher law than mere national law. Whoever has to create a work, whoever has to bring about a discovery or deed which will further the cause of all of humanity, no longer has his home in his native land but rather in his work.”
    —Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    “Thy hatred for this misery befallen;
    On me already lost, me than thyself
    More miserable. Both have sinned, but thou
    Against God only; I against God and thee,
    And to the place of judgment will return,
    There with my cries importune Heaven, that all
    The sentence, from thy head removed, may light
    On me, sole cause to thee of all this woe,
    Me, me only, just object of his ire.””
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
