Brooks

Famous quotes containing the word brooks:

“You may cut off the heads of every rich man now living—of every statesman—every literary, and every scientific authority, without in the least changing the social situation. Artists, of course, disappeared long ago as social forces. So did the church. Corporations are not elevators, but levellers, as I see them.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

“In the breath
Of the holocaust he
Is helmsman, hatchet, headlight.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

“For Christ is born of Mary;”
—Phillips Brooks (1835–1893)
