Mill Neck

Famous quotes containing the words mill and/or neck:

“The general tendency of things throughout the world is to render mediocrity the ascendant power among mankind.”

“If with light head erect I sing,
Though all the muses lend their force,
From my poor love of anything,
The verse is weak and shallow as its source.

But if with bended neck I grope,
Listening behind me for my wit,
With faith superior to hope,
More anxious to keep back than forward it,”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
