Famous quotes containing the words assembly and/or lines:
“Had every Athenian citizen been a Socrates, every Athenian assembly would still have been a mob.”

“When first my lines of heavenly joys made mention,
Such was their luster, they did so excel,
That I sought out quaint words and trim invention;
My thoughts began to burnish, sprout, and swell,
Curling with metaphors a plain intention,
Decking the sense as if it were to sell.”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)
