Pit Grave Culture

Famous quotes containing the words pit, grave and/or culture:

    Not Chaos, not
    The darkest pit of lowest Erebus,
    Nor aught of blinder vacancy, scooped out
    By help of dreams can breed such fear and awe
    As fall upon us often when we look
    Into our Minds, into the Mind of Man.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    She shall be buried by her Antony;
    No grave upon the earth shall clip in it
    A pair so famous.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I know that there are many persons to whom it seems derogatory to link a body of philosophic ideas to the social life and culture of their epoch. They seem to accept a dogma of immaculate conception of philosophical systems.
    John Dewey (1859–1952)
