Philip Asked

Famous quotes containing the words philip and/or asked:

    True, that true beauty virtue is indeed,
    Whereof this beauty can be but a shade,
    Which elements with mortal mixture breed.
    True, that on earth we are but pilgrims made,
    And should in soul up to our country move.
    True, and yet true that I must Stella love.
    —Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

    ... we’ve allowed a youth-centered culture to leave us so estranged from our future selves that, when asked about the years beyond fifty, sixty, or seventy—all part of the average human life span providing we can escape hunger, violence, and other epidemics—many people can see only a blank screen, or one on which they project fear of disease and democracy.
    Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
