Famous quotes containing the words john and/or templeton:

    Could it be that those who were reared in the postwar years really were spoiled, as we used to hear? Did a child-centered generation, raised in depression and war, produce a self-centered generation that resents children and parenthood?
    —C. John Sommerville (20th century)

    All’s pathos now. The body that was gross,
    Rank, ravenous, disgusting in the act or in repose,
    All fever, filth and sweat, its bestial strength
    And bestial decay, by pain and labour grows at length
    Fragile and luminous.
    —Frank Templeton Prince (b. 1912)
