York Power Authority

Famous quotes containing the words york, power and/or authority:

    And you’re too fired up to go to sleep, you sit at the kitchen table. It’s really late, it’s really quiet, you’re tired. Don’t wanna go to bed, though. Going to bed means this was the day. This Feb. 12, this Aug. 3, this Nov. 20 is over and you’re tired and you made some money but it didn’t happen, nothing happened. You got through it and a whole day of your life is over. And all it is—is time to go to bed.
    Claudia Shear, U.S. author. New York Times, p. A21 (September 29, 1993)

    He had come down, He said, to clean the earth
    Of the dirtiness of war.
    Now tell of why His power failed Him there?
    His power did not fail. It was that, simply,
    He found how much the people wanted war.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    Destiny. A tyrant’s authority for crime and a fool’s excuse for failure.
    Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
