Famous quotes containing the words hymn and/or society:

    The starting point of the human and the end,
    That in which space itself is contained, the gate
    To the enclosure, day, the things illumined
    By day, night and that which night illumines,
    Night and its midnight-minting fragrances,
    Night’s hymn of the rock, as in a vivid sleep.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    It is a society of laborers which is about to be liberated from the ferrets of labor, and this society does no longer know of those other higher and more meaningful activities for the sake of which this freedom would deserve to be won.
    Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
