Famous quotes with Stoop down

  • There is a loftier ambition than merely to stand high in the world. It is to stoop down and lift mankind a little higher.
    Henry Van Dyke
  • I do not care what face other ages and other people have given to the enormous, faceless essence.They have fulfilled their duty. But today we have gone beyond these needs; we have shattered this particular mask of the Abyss; our God no longer fits under the old features.The mystery has grown savage, and God has grown greater.Let us stoop down to our hearts and confront the Abyss valiantly.For our God is not an abstract thought, a logical necessity, a high and harmonious structure made of deductions and speculations. He is not an immaculate, neutral, odorless, distilled product of our brains, neither male nor female. He is both man and woman, mortal and immortal, dung and spirit. He gives birth, fecundates, slaughters — death and eros in one — and then he begets and slays once more, dancing spaciously beyond the boundaries of a logic which cannot contain the antinomies.
    Nikos Kazantzakis

The 'ead of Balliol College is called the Master. The present Master of Balliol is the celebrated Professor Benjamin Jowett, Regius Professor of Greek. Those are Professor Jowett's study-windows, and there" (here the ruffian would stoop down, take up a handful of gravel and throw it against the panes, bringing poor Jowett, livid with fury, to the window) "ladies and gentlemen, is Professor Benjamin Jowett himself."
    Benjamin Jowett
  • I would sooner perish for ever than stoop down before a Being who may have power to crush me, but whom my heart forbids me to reverence.
