Pikes Peak Council

Famous quotes containing the words pikes, peak and/or council:

    Though lads are making pikes again
    For some conspiracy,
    And crazy rascals rage their fill
    At human tyranny;
    My contemplations are of Time....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    You know, I often thought that the gangster and the artist are the same in the eyes of the masses. They’re admired and hero-worshipped but there is always present underlying desire to see them destroyed at the peak of their glory.
    Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)

    Daughter to that good Earl, once President
    Of England’s Council and her Treasury,
    Who lived in both, unstain’d with gold or fee,
    And left them both, more in himself content.

    Till the sad breaking of that Parliament
    Broke him, as that dishonest victory
    At Chaeronea, fatal to liberty,
    Kill’d with report that old man eloquent;—
    John Milton (1608–1674)
