Athens/environment

Famous quotes containing the words athens and/or environment:

“Cracks and reforms and bursts in the violet air
Falling towers
Jerusalem Athens Alexandria
Vienna London”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

“In a land which is fully settled, most men must accept their local environment or try to change it by political means; only the exceptionally gifted or adventurous can leave to seek his fortune elsewhere. In America, on the other hand, to move on and make a fresh start somewhere else is still the normal reaction to dissatisfaction and failure.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
