Thou Art Manifest

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

    Thou art not fair, for all thy red and white,
    For all those rosy ornaments in thee.
    Thou art not sweet, though made of mere delight
    Thomas Campion (1567–1620)

    Time writes no wrinkles on thine azure brow;
    Such as creation’s dawn beheld, thou rollest now.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    We hear the Secretary of State boasting of his brinkmanship—the art of bringing us to the edge of the abyss.
    Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)

    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)
