Famous quotes containing the words resort and/or today:
“The last resort of kings, the cannonball. The last resort of the people, the paving stone.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“We had to take the world as it was given:
The nursemaid sitting passive in the park
Was rarely by a changeling prince accosted,
The mornings happened similar and stark
In rooms of selfhood where we woke and lay
Watching today unfold like yesterday.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
