Prophetic Movement

Famous quotes containing the words prophetic and/or movement:

    “But though Heaven made him poor, with reverence speaking,
    He never was a poet of God’s making;
    The midwife laid her hand on his thick skull,
    With this prophetic blessing—Be thou dull;”
    —John Dryden (1631–1700)

    “Reporters for tabloid newspapers beat a path to the park entrance each summer when the national convention of nudists is held, but the cult’s requirement that visitors disrobe is an obstacle to complete coverage of nudist news. Local residents interested in the nudist movement but as yet unwilling to affiliate make observations from rowboats in Great Egg Harbor River.”
    —For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
