Sovereign Bonds

Famous quotes containing the words sovereign and/or bonds:

    The sovereign being is burdened with a servitude that crushes him and the condition of free men is deliberate servility.
    Georges Bataille (1897–1962)

    Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
    And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings ...
    And while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod
    The high, untrespassed sanctity of space,
    Put out my hand and touched the face of God.
    John Gillespie Magee (c. 1922–1941)
