Famous quotes containing the words relation to, relation and/or true:

    The foregoing generations beheld God and nature face to face; we, through their eyes. Why should not we also enjoy an original relation to the universe? Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition, and a religion by revelation to us, and not the history of theirs?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Concord is just as idiotic as ever in relation to the spirits and their knockings. Most people here believe in a spiritual world ... in spirits which the very bullfrogs in our meadows would blackball. Their evil genius is seeing how low it can degrade them. The hooting of owls, the croaking of frogs, is celestial wisdom in comparison.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The use of arms is ownership
    Of the appropriate gun. It is ownership that brings
    Victory that is not hinted at in “Das Kapital.”
    I think there is never but one true war
    So let us as you desire perfect our trade.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
