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)

“The boldest stroke and best act of friendship is not to disclose our own failings to a friend, but to show him his own.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
