Famous quotes containing the words equal and/or voice:
“His lordship may compel us to be equal upstairs, but there will never be equality in the servants’ hall.”
—J.M. (James Matthew)
“We are little airy creatures,
All of different voice and features:
One of us in glass is set,
One of us you’ll find in jet,
T’other you may see in tin,
And the fourth a box within;
If the fifth you should pursue,
It can never fly from you.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
