Famous quotes containing the words associate and/or matron:
“I know no other way to associate with great tasks than as play: as a sign of greatness, this is an essential presupposition.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Ye gentle souls, who dream of rural ease,
Whom the smooth stream and smoother sonnet please;
Go! if the peaceful cot your praises share,
Go, look within, and ask if peace be there:
If peace be his—that drooping weary sire,
Of theirs, that offspring round their feeble fire,
Or hers, that matron pale, whose trembling hand
Turns on the wretched hearth th’ expiring brand.”
—George Crabbe (1754–1832)
