Brute

Famous quotes containing the word brute:

    Union may be strength, but it is mere blind brute strength unless wisely directed.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    Since everything in nature answers to a moral power, if any phenomenon remains brute and dark, it is that the corresponding faculty in the observer is not yet active.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The earth had a single light afar,
    A flickering, human pathetic light,
    That was maintained against the night,
    It seemed to me, by the people there,
    With a Godforsaken brute despair.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
