Famous quotes containing the words line and/or extension:
“Michelangelo said to Pope Julius II, Self negation is noble, self-culture is beneficent, self-possession is manly, but to the truly great and inspiring soul they are poor and tame compared to self-abuse. Mr. Brown, here, in one of his latest and most graceful poems refers to it in an eloquent line which is destined to live to the end of timeNone know it but to love it, None name it but to praise.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (18351910)
“We are now a nation of people in daily contact with strangers. Thanks to mass transportation, school administrators and teachers often live many miles from the neighborhood schoolhouse. They are no longer in daily informal contact with parents, ministers, and other institution leaders . . . [and are] no longer a natural extension of parental authority.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
