Famous quotes containing the words lincoln, mystery and/or plays:

    Each [side in this war] looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God’s assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men’s faces; but let us judge not that we be not judged.
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    The poem is lonely. It is lonely and en route. Its author stays with it. Does this very fact not place the poem already here, at its inception, in the encounter, in the mystery of encounter?
    Paul Celan [Paul Antschel] (1920–1970)

    Man is neither angel nor beast, and the unfortunate thing is that he who would play the angel plays the beast.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
