Famous quotes containing the words code and/or generation:

    “Wise Draco comes, deep in the midnight roll
    Of black artillery; he comes, though late;
    In code corroborating Calvin’s creed
    And cynic tyrannies of honest kings;
    He comes, nor parlies; and the Town, redeemed,
    Gives thanks devout; nor, being thankful, heeds
    The grimy slur on the Republic’s faith implied,
    Which holds that Man is naturally good,
    And—more—is Nature’s Roman, never to be
    scourged.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “Through centuries he lived in poverty.
    God only was his only elegance.
    Then generation by generation he grew
    Stronger and freer, a little better off.
    He lived each life because, if it was bad,
    He said a good life would be possible.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
