Famous quotes containing the words slave and/or labour:
“Tyranny produces two results, exactly opposite in character, and which are symbolized in those two great types of the slave in classical timesEpictetus and Spartacus. The one is hatred with its evil train, the other meekness with its Christian graces.”

“Through throats where many rivers meet, the curlews cry,
Under the conceiving moon, on the high chalk hill,
And there this night I walk in the white giants thigh
Where barrren as boulders women lie longing still
To labour and love though they lay down long ago.”
—Dylan Thomas (19141953)
