Famous quotes containing the words iron and/or crown:

    “Industrial man—a sentient reciprocating engine having a fluctuating output, coupled to an iron wheel revolving with uniform velocity. And then we wonder why this should be the golden age of revolution and mental derangement.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “a sorrow’s crown of sorrow is remembering happier things.
    Drug thy memories, lest thou learn it, lest thy heart be put to proof,
    In the dead unhappy night, and when the rain is on the roof.”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
