Famous quotes containing the words level and/or names:

    A drawing is always dragged down to the level of its caption.
    James Thurber (1894–1961)

    The names of those who in their lives fought for life,
    Who wore at their hearts the fire’s centre.
    Born of the sun they traveled a short while towards the sun,
    And left the vivid air signed with their honour.
    Stephen Spender (1909–1995)
