Famous quotes containing the words stuart and/or hughes:

    As for charity, it is a matter in which the immediate effect on the persons directly concerned, and the ultimate consequence to the general good, are apt to be at complete war with one another.
    —John Stuart Mill (1806–1873)

    Minute after minute, aeon after aeon,
    Nothing lets up or develops.
    And this is neither a bad variant nor a tryout.
    This is where the staring angels go through.
    This is where all the stars bow down.
    —Ted Hughes (b. 1930)
