Famous quotes containing the words civil and/or plays:

“There are those who say to you—we are rushing this issue of civil rights. I say we are 172 years late.”

“[Allegory] should ... be very sparingly practised, lest, whilst the writer plays with his own fancies and diverts himself by cutting the air with his wide spread wings, he should soar out of view of his readers, leaving them in confusion and perplexity to explore his viewless track.”
