Famous quotes containing the words century and/or poetry:
“There have been in this century only one great man and one great thing: Napoléon and liberty. For want of the great man, let us have the great thing.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“Indeed, the best books have a use, like sticks and stones, which is above or beside their design, not anticipated in the preface, not concluded in the appendix. Even Virgil’s poetry serves a very different use to me today from what it did to his contemporaries. It has often an acquired and accidental value merely, proving that man is still man in the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
