Famous quotes containing the words serpent and/or men:
“Though gilded and golden, the serpent of vice is a serpent still.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Professors of literature, who for the most part are genteel but mediocre men, can make but a poor defense of their profession, and the professors of science, who are frequently men of great intelligence but of limited interests and education, feel a politely disguised contempt for it; and thus the study of one of the most pervasive and powerful influences on human life is traduced and neglected.”
—Yvor Winters (1900–1968)
