Famous quotes containing the words born and/or century:
“We are born with luck
which is to say with gold in our mouth.
As new and smooth as a grape,
as pure as a pond in Alaska,
as good as the stem of a green bean
we are born and that ought to be enough....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“There have been in this century only one great man and one great thing: Napoléon and liberty. For want of the great man, let us have the great thing.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
