Subject

Famous quotes containing the word subject:

    Thy spotless Muse, like Mary, did contain
    The boundless Godhead; she did well disdain
    That her eternal Verse employ’d should be
    On a less subject than Eternitie;
    Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)

    Order is Heaven’s first law; and this confessed,
    Some are, and must be, greater than the rest,
    More rich, more wise; but who infers from hence
    That such are happier, shocks all common sense.
    Condition, circumstance, is not the thing;
    Bliss is the same in subject or in king.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    Personally, I have nothing against work, particularly when performed, quietly and unobtrusively, by someone else. I just don’t happen to think it’s an appropriate subject for an “ethic.”
    Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
