Famous quotes containing the words fort, stevenson, state and/or park:

    I made him with these hands, and with these hands I’ll destroy him.
    —Garrett Fort (1900–1945)

    In marriage, a man becomes slack and selfish, and undergoes a fatty degeneration of his moral being.
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

    To reduce the imagination to a state of slavery—even though it would mean the elimination of what is commonly called happiness—is to betray all sense of absolute justice within oneself. Imagination alone offers me some intimation of what can be.
    André Breton (1896–1966)

    Is a park any better than a coal mine? What’s a mountain got that a slag pile hasn’t? What would you rather have in your garden—an almond tree or an oil well?
    Jean Giraudoux (1882–1944)
