Famous quotes containing the words time and/or leading:
“When her husband clutches at her dress,
she lowers her face,
her modesty aroused.
When he wants a wild embrace,
she shyly secrets away
her limbs.
She cant say a word
and bestows her gaze
on her beaming friends.
A new wife suffers
with shame
the first time she makes love.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
“Our leading men are not of much account and never have been, but the average of the people is immense, beyond all history. Sometimes I think in all departments, literature and art included, that will be the way our superiority will exhibit itself. We will not have great individuals or great leaders, but a great average bulk, unprecedentedly great.”
—Walt Whitman (18191892)
