Famous quotes containing the words power and/or station:
“Great is Truth, and mighty above all things.”
—Apocrypha. 1 Esdras, 4:41.
Acclamation following the speech of the bodyguard of King Darius, who proclaimed the power of truth, “the strength, kingdom, power, and majesty of all ages.”
“How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn’t love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
