Set

Famous quotes containing the word set:

    There is nothing less to our credit than our neglect of the foreigner and his children, unless it be the arrogance most of us betray when we set out to “americanize” him.
    Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

    One, two and many: flesh had made him blind,
    Flesh had one pleasure only in the act,
    Flesh set one purpose only in the mind—
    Triumph of flesh and afterwards to find
    Still those same terrors wherewith flesh was racked.
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    It is ... despair at the mutability of all created things that links the Artist and the Ascetic—a desire to purify and preserve—to set oneself apart—somehow—from the river flowing onward to the grave.
    Michele Murray (1933–1974)
