Famous quotes containing the words claimed, dark, prison and/or included:

    Throughout human history, the apostles of purity, those who have claimed to possess a total explanation, have wrought havoc among mere mixed-up human beings.
    Salman Rushdie (b. 1948)

    I cannot say what poetry is; I know that our sufferings and our concentrated joy, our states of plunging far and dark and turning to come back to the world—so that the moment of intense turning seems still and universal—all are here, in a music like the music of our time, like the hero and like the anonymous forgotten; and there is an exchange here in which our lives are met, and created.
    Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)

    Anyone who has been to an English public school will always feel comparatively at home in prison. It is the people brought up in the gay intimacy of the slums ... who find prison so soul-destroying.
    Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)

    The Heavenly eye,
    Much wider than the sky,
    Wherein they all included were,
    The glorious Soul, that was the King
    Made to possess them, did appear
    A small and little thing!
    Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
