Sworn

Famous quotes containing the word sworn:

    The world is not dialectical—it is sworn to extremes, not to equilibrium, sworn to radical antagonism, not to reconciliation or synthesis. This is also the principle of evil.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    They are sworn enemies of lyric poetry.
    In prison they accompany the jailer,
    Enter cells to hear confessions.
    Their short-end comes down
    When you least expect it.
    Charles Simic (b. 1938)
