Quaker Community

Famous quotes containing the words quaker and/or community:

    this old Quaker graveyard where the bones
    Cry out in the long night for the hurt beast
    Bobbing by Ahab’s whaleboats in the East.
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    He thought that, because the community represents millions of people, therefore it must be millions of times more important than the individual, forgetting that the community is an abstraction from the many, and is not the many themselves.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
