Prerogative Granted

Famous quotes containing the words prerogative and/or granted:

“I believe that in the history of art and of thought there has always been at every living moment of culture a “will to renewal.” This is not the prerogative of the last decade only. All history is nothing but a succession of “crises”Mof rupture, repudiation and resistance.... When there is no “crisis,” there is stagnation, petrification and death. All thought, all art is aggressive.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)

“But his kiss was so sweet, and so closely he pressed,
That I languished and pined till I granted the rest.”
—John Gay (1685–1732)
