Famous quotes containing the words kenneth and/or fearing:

    The contented and economically comfortable have a very discriminating view of government. Nobody is ever indignant about bailing out failed banks and failed savings and loans associations.... But when taxes must be paid for the lower middle class and poor, the government assumes an aspect of wickedness.
    —John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)

    cried as he died, fearing at last the spheres’
    Last sound, the world going out without a breath:
    Too proud to cry, too frail to check the tears,
    And caught between two nights, blindness and death.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
