Famous quotes containing the words people, named and/or powers:

    “Every murder turns on a bright hot light, and a lot of people ... have to walk out of the shadows.”
    —Mark Hellinger (1903–1947)

    “We were hospitably entertained in Concord, New Hampshire, which we persisted in calling New Concord, as we had been wont, to distinguish it from our native town, from which we had been told that it was named and in part originally settled. This would have been the proper place to conclude our voyage, uniting Concord with Concord by these meandering rivers, but our boat was moored some miles below its port.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “And as the sun above the light doth bring,
    Though we behold it in the air below,
    So from th’ eternal Light the soul doth spring,
    Though in the body she her powers do show.”
    —Sir John Davies (1569–1626)
