Famous quotes containing the words masters of, masters, king and/or post:
“It is only a short step from exaggerating what we can find in the world to exaggerating our power to remake the world. Expecting more novelty than there is, more greatness than there is, and more strangeness than there is, we imagine ourselves masters of a plastic universe. But a world we can shape to our will ... is a shapeless world.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“Degenerate sons and daughters,
Life is too strong for you
It takes life to love Life.”
—Edgar Lee Masters (18691950)
“The King said to his son: Enough of this!
The Kingdoms yours to finish as you please.
Im getting out tonight. Here, take the crown.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
“My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruelnot speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.”
—Clara Barton (18211912)
