Famous quotes containing the words civil, servants and/or literature:
“Standards of conduct appropriate to civil society or the workings of a democracy cannot be purely and simply applied to the Church.”

“The President has apples on the table
And barefoot servants round him, who adjust
The curtains to a metaphysical t
And the banners of the nation flutter, burst
On the flag-poles in a red-blue dazzle, whack
At the halyards.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“A people’s literature is the great textbook for real knowledge of them. The writings of the day show the quality of the people as no historical reconstruction can.”
