Thou Art Manifest

Famous quotes containing the words thou art, thou, art and/or manifest:

    My God, my life, my love,
    To Thee, to Thee I call;
    I cannot live if Thou remove,
    For Thou art all in all.
    Isaac Watts (1674–1748)

    Go! climb that rock, and when thou there hast found
    A star, contracted in a diamond,
    Sir William Davenant (1606–1668)

    Perhaps dirt is the necessary condition of beauty.... Perhaps hygiene and art can never be bedfellows. No Verdi, after all, without spitting into trumpets. No Duse without a crowd of malodorous bourgeois giving one another their coryzas. And think of the inexpugnable retreats for microbes prepared by Michelangelo in the curls of Moses’ beard!
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    There are obvious places in which government can narrow the chasm between haves and have-nots. One is the public schools, which have been seen as the great leveler, the authentic melting pot. That, today, is nonsense. In his scathing study of the nation’s public school system entitled “Savage Inequalities,” Jonathan Kozol made manifest the truth: that we have a system that discriminates against the poor in everything from class size to curriculum.
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
