Famous quotes containing the words lincoln, mystery and/or plays:

    I wish all men to be free. I wish the material prosperity of the already free which I feel sure the extinction of slavery would bring.
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    The butterfly’s attractiveness derives not only from colors and symmetry: deeper motives contribute to it. We would not think them so beautiful if they did not fly, or if they flew straight and briskly like bees, or if they stung, or above all if they did not enact the perturbing mystery of metamorphosis: the latter assumes in our eyes the value of a badly decoded message, a symbol, a sign.
    Primo Levi (1919–1987)

    Say that it is the serenade
    Of a man that plays a blue guitar.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
