Sir Allan Napier

Famous quotes containing the words sir, allan and/or napier:

    “There are a sort of men whose visages
    Do cream and mantle like a standing pond,
    And do a willful stillness entertain,
    With purpose to be dressed in an opinion
    Of wisdom, gravity, profound conceit,
    As who should say, “I am Sir Oracle,
    And when I ope my lips let no dog bark!””
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “like a ghastly rapid river,
    Through the pale door
    A hideous throng rush out forever,
    And laugh—but smile no more.”
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    “The greatest impediments to changes in our traditional roles seem to lie not in the visible world of conscious intent, but in the murky realm of the unconscious mind.”
    —Augustus Y. Napier (20th century)
