Famous quotes containing the words greek and/or pantheon:
“Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land,
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.”
—Emma Lazarus (1849–1887)
“Revolution calls my name. I will soon dwell in nothingness, and my name will be in the Pantheon of history.”
—Georg Büchner (1813–1837)
