Famous quotes containing the words stand and/or upright:
“A wise man can and should stand above his times, not so the poet, but he should be their apex.”

“The salt person and blasted place
I furnish with the meat of a fable;
If the dead starve, their stomachs turn to tumble
An upright man in the antipodes
Or spray-based and rock-chested sea:
Over the past table I repeat this present grace.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
