Famous quotes containing the words masters and/or degree:
“The beasts, the fishes, and the winged fowls
Are their males subjects and at their controls:
Man, more divine, the master of all these,
Lord of the wide world and wild watery seas,
Indued with intellectual sense and souls,
Of more pre-eminence than fish and fowls,
Are masters to their females, and their lords:
Then let your will attend on their accords.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“Suppose by chance you do get picked up. What have you done? You shot a horse; that isnt first degree murder; in fact, it isnt even murder; in fact, I dont know what it is.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
