Famous quotes containing the words songs, written, barry, mann and/or weil:

    “And songs climb out of the flames of the near campfires,
    Pale, pastel things exquisite in their frailness
    With a note or two to indicate it isn’t lost,
    On them at least. The songs decorate our notion of the world
    And mark its limits, like a frieze of soap-bubbles.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “My residence was more favorable, not only to thought, but to serious reading, than a university; and though I was beyond the range of the ordinary circulating library, I had more than ever come within the influence of those books which circulate round the world, whose sentences were first written on bark, and are now merely copied from time to time on to linen paper.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “But whether on the scaffold high,
    Or in the battle’s van,
    The fittest place where man can die
    Is where he dies for man.”
    —Michael J. Barry (1817–1889)

    “The Freudian theory is one of the most important foundation stones for an edifice to be built by future generations, the dwelling of a freer and wiser humanity.”
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    “Human beings are so made that the ones who do the crushing feel nothing; it is the person crushed who feels what is happening. Unless one has placed oneself on the side of the oppressed, to feel with them, one cannot understand.”
    —Simone Weil (1909–1943)
