Famous quotes containing the words amiri and/or decree:

    “Malcolm’s words
    fire darts, the victor’s tireless
    thrusts, words hung above the world
    change as it may, he said it, and
    for this he was killed,”
    —Imamu Amiri Baraka (b. 1934)

    “In the whole vast dome of living nature there reigns an open violence, a kind of prescriptive fury which arms all the creatures to their common doom: as soon as you leave the inanimate kingdom you find the decree of violent death inscribed on the very frontiers of life.”
    —Joseph De Maistre (1753–1821)
