Golden Avalanche

Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or avalanche:

    Venerandam,
    In the Cretan’s phrase, with the golden crown, Aphrodite,
    Cypri munimenta sortita est, mirthful, oricalchi, with golden
    Girdles and breast bands, thou with dark eyelids
    Bearing the golden bough of Argicida.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    The Humanity of men and women is inversely proportional to their Numbers. A Crowd is no more human than an Avalanche or a Whirlwind. A rabble of men and women stands lower in the scale of moral and intellectual being than a herd of Swine or of Jackals.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
