Famous quotes containing the words adventure, boxed and/or set:
“Being human signifies, for each one of us, belonging to a class, a society, a country, a continent and a civilization; and for us European earth-dwellers, the adventure played out in the heart of the New World signifies in the first place that it was not our world and that we bear responsibility for the crime of its destruction.”

“We then lived roses; I had fooled despair
And boxed him up and flogged his retinue,
Made strong by cheeks and lips! I sucked in dew,
And dragged the world, a weakling, by the hair.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“Hence anyone who seeks for the true cause of miracles, and strives to understand natural phenomena as an intelligent being, and not to gaze at them as a fool, is set down and denounced as a impious heretic by those, whom the masses adore as the interpreters of nature and the gods.”
—Baruch (Benedict)
