Famous quotes containing the words verdict, supreme, national, tribunal, auschwitz and/or trial:

    “All in all, the creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act. This becomes even more obvious when posterity gives its final verdict and sometimes rehabilitates forgotten artists.”
    —Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968)

    “Only in men’s imagination does every truth find an effective and undeniable existence. Imagination, not invention, is the supreme master of art as of life.”
    —Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)

    “Mr. Christian, it is about time for many people to begin to come to the White House to discuss different phases of the coal strike. When anybody comes, if his special problem concerns the state, refer him to the governor of Pennsylvania. If his problem has a national phase, refer him to the United States Coal Commission. In no event bring him to me.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

    “There’s a new tribunal now
    Higher than God’s—the educated man’s!”
    —Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    “I admit that the generation which produced Stalin, Auschwitz and Hiroshima will take some beating; but the radical and universal consciousness of the death of God is still ahead of us; perhaps we shall have to colonize the stars before it is finally borne in upon us that God is not out there.”
    —R.J. Hollingdale (b. 1930)

    “The trial by market everything must come to.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
