Famous quotes containing the words cover and/or versions:

    “See, there is a place by me where you shall stand on the rock; and while my glory passes by I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and I will cover you with my hand until I have passed by;
    then I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back; but my face shall not be seen.””
    —Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 33:21-23.

    “The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.”
    —Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
