Famous quotes containing the words brightest and/or members:
“It is a mark of many famous people that they cannot part with their brightest hour.”
—Lillian Hellman (1905–1984)
“A multitude of little superfluous precautions engender here a population of deputies and sub-officials, each of whom acquits himself with an air of importance and a rigorous precision, which seemed to say, though everything is done with much silence, “Make way, I am one of the members of the grand machine of state.””
—Marquis De Custine (1790–1857)
