Famous quotes containing the words ken and/or adam:

    Is America a land of God where saints abide for ever? Where golden fields spread fair and broad, where flows the crystal river? Certainly not flush with saints, and a good thing, too, for the saints sent buzzing into man’s ken now are but poor- mouthed ecclesiastical film stars and cliché-shouting publicity agents.
    Their little knowledge bringing them nearer to their ignorance,
    Ignorance bringing them nearer to death,
    But nearness to death no nearer to God.
    Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)

    I wish you would not let him plunge into a ôvortex of
    Dissipation.ö I do not object to the Thing, but I cannot bear the
    expression; it is such thorough novel slang—and so old, that I
    dare say Adam met with it in the first novel he opened.
    Jane Austen (1775–1817)
