Famous quotes containing the words liberty and/or cap:

    “The obscure only exists that it may cease to exist. In it lies the opportunity of all victory and all progress. Whether it call itself fatality, death, night, or matter, it is the pedestal of life, of light, of liberty and the spirit. For it represents resistance—that is to say, the fulcrum of all activity, the occasion for its development and its triumph.”
    —Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)

    “... everyone developing
    A language of his own to write his book in,
    And one to cap the climax by combining
    All language in a one-man tongue-confusion.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
