Famous quotes containing the word granted:
“No, it wasnt an accident, I didnt say that. It was carefully planned, down to the tiniest mechanical and emotional detail. But it was a mistake. It was a beaut. In the end, somehow granted the time for examination, we shall find that our so-called civilization was gloriously destroyed by a handful of vacuum tubes and transistors. Probably faulty.”
—John Paxton (19111985)
“In Europe, charters of liberty have been granted by Power. In America ... charters of power [are] granted by liberty.”
—James Madison (17511836)
“May she be granted beauty and yet not
Beauty to make a strangers eye distraught,
Or hers before a looking-glass, for such,
Being made beautiful overmuch,
Consider beauty a sufficient end,
Lose natural kindness”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
