Famous quotes containing the words dual and/or group:

    “Thee for my recitative,
    Thee in the driving storm even as now, the snow, the winter-day
    declining,
    Thee in thy panoply, thy measur’d dual throbbing and thy beat
    convulsive,
    Thy black cylindric body, golden brass and silvery steel,”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “It is not God that is worshipped but the group or authority that claims to speak in His name. Sin becomes disobedience to authority not violation of integrity.”
    —Sarvepalli, Sir Radhakrishnan (1888–1975)
