Famous quotes containing the words pride and/or system:
“For near her stood the little boy
Her childish favour singled:
His cap pulled low upon a face
Where pride and shame were mingled.”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
“For us necessity is not as of old an image without us, with whom we can do warfare; it is a magic web woven through and through us, like that magnetic system of which modern science speaks, penetrating us with a network subtler than our subtlest nerves, yet bearing in it the central forces of the world.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
