Stamped

Famous quotes containing the word stamped:

    Obligation may be stretched till it is no better than a brand of slavery stamped on us when we were too young to know its meaning.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    ... it was religion that saved me. Our ugly church and parochial school provided me with my only aesthetic outlet, in the words of the Mass and the litanies and the old Latin hymns, in the Easter lilies around the altar, rosaries, ornamented prayer books, votive lamps, holy cards stamped in gold and decorated with flower wreaths and a saint’s picture.
    Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)

    An aphorism, honestly stamped and molded, has not yet been “deciphered” once we have read it over; rather, its exegesis—for which an art of exegesis is needed—has only just begun.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
