Famous quotes containing the words penn and/or place:
“the pomp
Of pain swells like the Indies, or a plum”
—Robert Penn Warren (1905–1989)
“Nothing strengthens the judgment and quickens the conscience like individual responsibility. Nothing adds such dignity to character as the recognition of one’s self-sovereignty; the right to an equal place, everywhere conceded—a place earned by personal merit, not an artificial attainment by inheritance, wealth, family and position.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
