Famous quotes containing the words kenneth and/or fearing:

    Money is a singular thing. It ranks with love as man’s greatest source of joy. And with death as his greatest source of anxiety. Over all history it has oppressed nearly all people in one of two ways: either it has been abundant and very unreliable, or reliable and very scarce.
    —John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)

    cried as he died, fearing at last the spheres’
    Last sound, the world going out without a breath:
    Too proud to cry, too frail to check the tears,
    And caught between two nights, blindness and death.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
