Famous quotes containing the words rank and/or structure:

    “... his rank penetrated them as though it had been an odour.”
    —George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    “Man is more disposed to domination than freedom; and a structure of dominion not only gladdens the eye of the master who rears and protects it, but even its servants are uplifted by the thought that they are members of a whole, which rises high above the life and strength of single generations.”
    —Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)
