Famous quotes containing the words empire and/or stadium:

    “Let Rome in Tiber melt and the wide arch
    Of the ranged empire fall! Here is my space.
    Kingdoms are clay; our dungy earth alike
    Feeds beast as man. The nobleness of life
    Is to do thus; when such a mutual pair
    And such a twain can do ‘t, in which I bind,
    On pain of punishment, the world to weet
    We stand up peerless.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “In their eyes I have seen
    the pin men of madness in marathon trim
    race round the track of the stadium pupil.”
    —Patricia K. Page (b. 1916)
