Famous quotes containing the word peaks:
“John Brown and Giuseppe Garibaldi were contemporaries not solely in the matter of time; their endeavors as liberators link their names where other likeness is absent; and the peaks of their careers were reached almost simultaneously: the Harper’s Ferry Raid occurred in 1859, the raid on Sicily in the following year.

—John Cournos (1881–1956)

—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“On the secret map the assassins

Of humiliation and defeat ...”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
