Famous quotes containing the word rise:
“Nor could I rise with you,
Because your face
Would put out Jesus’,”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“Considered physiologically, everything ugly weakens and saddens man. It reminds him of decay, danger, impotence; it actually reduces his strength. The effect of ugliness can be measured with a dynamometer. Whenever anyone feels depressed, he senses the proximity of something “ugly.” His feeling of power, his will to power, his courage, his pride—they decline with ugliness, they rise with beauty.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Oppression that is clearly inexorable and invincible does not give rise to revolt but to submission.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
