Granted Independence

Famous quotes containing the words granted and/or independence:

“May she be granted beauty and yet not
Beauty to make a stranger’s 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 (1865–1939)

“The Indian’s intercourse with Nature is at least such as admits of the greatest independence of each.”
