Famous quotes containing the words permanent and/or body:
“The generations of men run on in the tide of time,
But leave their destined lineaments permanent for ever & ever.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds. I would rather chance my personal vision of truth striking home here and there in the chaos of publication that exists than attempt to filter it through a few sets of official, honorably public-spirited scruples.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
