Famous quotes containing the words men and/or open:

    “If today there is a proper American “sphere of influence” it is this fragile sphere called earth upon which all men live and share a common fate—a sphere where our influence must be for peace and justice.”
    —Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)

    “It is open to question whether the highly individualized characters we find in Shakespeare are perhaps not detrimental to the dramatic effect. The human being disappears to the same degree as the individual emerges.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
