Famous quotes containing the words speakers of, speakers, house and/or keys:

    “What’s this, Aurora Leigh,
    You write so of the poets and not laugh?
    Those virtuous liars, dreamers after dark,
    Exaggerators of the sun and moon,
    And soothsayers in a tea-cup? I write so
    Of the only truth-tellers, now left to God,—
    The only speakers of essential truth,
    Opposed to relative, comparative,
    And temporal truths;...
    The only teachers who instruct mankind,
    From just a shadow on a charnel-wall.”
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    “The problems of society will also be the problems of the predominant language of that society. It is the carrier of its perceptions, its attitudes, and its goals, for through it, the speakers absorb entrenched attitudes. The guilt of English then must be recognized and appreciated before its continued use can be advocated.”
    —Njabulo Ndebele (b. 1948)

    “In 1862 the congregation of the church forwarded the church bell to General Beauregard to be melted into cannon, “hoping that its gentle tones, that have so often called us to the House of God, may be transmuted into war’s resounding rhyme to repel the ruthless invader from the beautiful land God, in his goodness, has given us.””
    —Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “McCoy: That shark’s been following us ever since the surgeon died, waiting for the burial. Couldn’t I have a musket to shoot it, sir?
    Fletcher Christian: Take the deck, McCoy. I’ll get the keys to the arms chest.
    McCoy: Get two muskets, sir. I’d like to shoot that shark on board.”
    —Talbot Jennings (1896–1985)
