Famous quotes containing the words living and/or colossus:
“Myths and legends die hard in America. We love them for the extra dimension they provide, the illusion of near-infinite possibility to erase the narrow confines of most men’s reality. Weird heroes and mould-breaking champions exist as living proof to those who need it that the tyranny of “the rat race” is not yet final.”
—Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)
“Milton, Madam, was a genius that could cut a Colossus from a rock; but he could not carve heads upon cherry-stones.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
