Famous quotes containing the words community and/or hove:
“Agitators are a set of interfering, meddling people, who come down to some perfectly contented class of the community and sow the seeds of discontent amongst them. That is the reason why agitators are so absolutely necessary. Without them, in our incomplete state, there would be no advance towards civilisation.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“But she rode it out,
That old rose-house,
She hove into the teeth of it,”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
