Famous quotes containing the words organic and/or tests:
“And what if all of animated nature
Be but organic Harps diversely framed,
That tremble into thought, as o’er them sweeps
Plastic and vast, one intellectual breeze,
At once the Soul of each, and God of all?”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
“One of the tests of the civilization of people is the treatment of its criminals.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
