Pratt Street Riot

Famous quotes containing the words pratt, street and/or riot:

    So motionless, she seemed stone dead—just seemed:
    She was too old for death, too old for life,
    For as if jealous of all living forms
    She had lain there before bivalves began
    To catacomb their shells on western mountains.
    —Edwin John Pratt (1882–1964)

    At any street corner the feeling of absurdity can strike any man in the face.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    So when Pilate saw that he could do nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took some water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of this man’s blood; see to it yourselves.”
