Rich/places

Famous quotes containing the words rich and/or places:

    Time in the hand is not control of time,
    Nor shattered fragments of an instrument
    A proof against the wind; the wind will rise,
    We can only close the shutters.
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    Of a truth, Knowledge is power, but it is a power reined by scruple, having a conscience of what must be and what may be; whereas Ignorance is a blind giant who, let him but wax unbound, would make it a sport to seize the pillars that hold up the long- wrought fabric of human good, and turn all the places of joy as dark as a buried Babylon.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
