Solemn High Mass

Famous quotes containing the words solemn, high and/or mass:

    The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces,
    The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
    Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
    And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
    Leave not a rack behind.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    There is a high road to Heaven which few people travel; Hell hath no door, but many manage to burrow their way in.
    Chinese proverb.

    What will happen once the authentic mass man takes over, we do not know yet, although it may be a fair guess that he will have more in common with the meticulous, calculated correctness of Himmler than with the hysterical fanaticism of Hitler, will more resemble the stubborn dullness of Molotov than the sensual vindictive cruelty of Stalin.
    Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
