Famous quotes containing the words temporal and/or power:
“Social questions are too sectional, too topical, too temporal to move a man to the mighty effort which is needed to produce great poetry. Prison reform may nerve Charles Reade to produce an effective and businesslike prose melodrama; but it could never produce Hamlet, Faust, or Peer Gynt.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“A new degree of intellectual power seems cheap at any price.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
