Famous quotes containing the words external and/or relations:

    “Many are poets but without the name,
    For what is poesy but to create
    From overfeeling good or ill; and aim
    At an external life beyond our fate,
    And be the new Prometheus of new men.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “I have no wealthy or popular relations to recommend me.”
