Temporal Power

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)
