Allotment Act

Famous quotes containing the words allotment and/or act:

“Now I hold Creation in my foot

Or fly up, and revolve it all slowly—
I kill where I please because it is all mine.
There is no sophistry in my body:
My manners are tearing off heads—

The allotment of death.”
—Ted Hughes (b. 1930)

“When private men shall act with original views, the lustre will be transferred from the actions of kings to those of gentlemen.”
