Famous quotes containing the words king and/or sisyphus:
“There is no king or sovereign state
That can fix a hero’s rate;
Each to all is venerable.”

“The gods had condemned Sisyphus to ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain, whence the stone would fall back of its own weight. They had thought with some reason that there is no more dreadful punishment than futile and hopeless labor.”
