Famous quotes containing the words sovereign and/or grace:
“The sovereign being is burdened with a servitude that crushes him and the condition of free men is deliberate servility.”
—Georges Bataille (1897–1962)
“No convention gets to be a convention at all except by grace of a lot of clever and powerful people first inventing it, and then imposing it on others. You can be pretty sure, if you are strictly conventional, that you are following genius—a long way off. And unless you are a genius yourself, that is a good thing to do.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
