Set

Famous quotes containing the word set:

    Women are to be lifted up to a physical equality with man by placing upon their shoulders equal burdens of labor, equal responsibilities of state-craft; they are to be brought down from their altruistic heights by being released from all obligations of purity, loyalty, self-sacrifice, and made free of the world of passion and self-indulgence, after the model set them by men of low and materialistic ideals.
    Caroline Fairfield Corbin (b. c. 1835–?)

    But now I see I was not plucked for naught,
    And after in life’s vase
    Of glass set while I might survive,
    But by a kind hand brought
    Alive
    To a strange place.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    John Brown of Ossawattamie
    Who died to set Abstraction free
    Stole Washington’s gold-handled sword
    Less for the gold than for the Lord....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
