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)
