Famous quotes containing the words ken and/or roberts:

“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)

“That’s life. Whichever way you turn, fate sticks out a foot to trip you.”
—Martin Goldsmith, and Edgar G. Ulmer. Al Roberts (Tom Neal)
