Famous quotes containing the words state and/or line:
“Once the state has been founded, there can no longer be any heroes. They come on the scene only in uncivilized conditions.”

“Gascoigne, Ben Jonson, Greville, Raleigh, Donne,
Poets who wrote great poems, one by one,
And spaced by many years, each line an act
Through which few labor, which no men retract.
This passion is the scholar’s heritage,”
