Famous quotes containing the words shaft and/or construction:
“Lord, crack their teeth! Lord, crush these lions’ jaws!
So let them sink as water in the sand;
When deadly bow their aiming fury draws,
Shiver the shaft ere past the shooter’s hand.
So make them melt as the dishoused snail”
—Bible: Hebrew Psalm LVIII (Paraphrased by the Countess of Pembroke)
“The construction of life is at present in the power of facts far more than convictions.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
