Kin Quotes
Fair and foul are near of kin And fair needs foul,' I cried. 'My friends are gone, but that's a truth Nor grave nor bed denied.'
William Butler Yeats
Religion and art spring from the same root and are close kin. Economics and art are strangers.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Mr Bush, Mr. Blair and now Mr Brown's sense of human rights precludes our people's right to their God-given resources, which in their view must be controlled by their kith and kin. I am termed dictator because I have rejected this supremacist view and frustrated the neo-colonialists.
Robert Mugabe
Why can't a man stand alone? Must he be burdened by all that he's taught to consider his own? His skin and his station, his kin and his crown, his flag and his nation They just weigh him down.
Elvis Costello
Religion and art spring from the same root and are close kin. Economics and art are strangers.
Willa Cather
All kin' o' smily round the lips, An' teary round the lashes.
James Russell Lowell
'T was kin' o' kingdom-come to look On sech a blessed cretur.
James Russell Lowell
A little more than kin, a little less than kind.
William Shakespeare
One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.
William Shakespeare
Oh, where is man- That mortal god, that hath no mortal kin Or like on earth? Shall Nature's orator- The interpreter of all her mystic strains - Shall he be mute in Nature's jubilee?
Hartley Coleridge
The systems view of nature and man is clearly non- anthropocentric, but it is not non-humanistic for all that. It allows us to understand that man is one species of system in a complex and embracing hierarchy of nature, and at the same time it tells us that all systems have value and intrinsic worth. They are goal-oriented, self-maintaining, and self-creating expressions of nature's penchant for order and adjustment. The status of man is not lessened by admitting the amoeba as his kin, nor by recognizing that sociocultural systems are his supersystems. Seeing himself as a connecting link in a complex natural hierarchy cancels man's anthropocentrism, but seeing the hierarchy itself as an expression of self-ordering and self-creating nature bolsters his self-esteem and encourages his humanism.
Ervin László
Do not fear so, here is one who would be a blade at your back. A shield across your breast. Here is kin, here is strength to lean upon, to share as you share in need.
Andre Norton
He is my brother. She is my sister. Come what will, they are my kin.
Philippa Gregory
If you should find yourself in a place that is indifferent to you and there is someone there that your spirit stretches to, then that person is kin.
Helen Oyeyemi
Those who are able to climb up the ladder will find ways to pull it up after them, or selectively lower it down to allow their friends, allies, and kin to scramble up. In other words: 'Who says meritocracy says oligarchy.'
Chris Hayes
You can't very well live in a castle while your kin is on the poor side of town and barely have enough food. Some want you to get to the top and rely on you making it for them, too.
Martha Reeves
By vulgarity I mean that vice of civilization which makes man ashamed of himself and his next of kin, and pretend to be somebody else.
Solomon Schechter
William Dewy, Tranter Reuben, Farmer Ledlow late at plough, Robert's kin, and John's, and Ned's, And the Squire, and Lady Susan, lie in Mellstock churchyard now!
Thomas Hardy
One South African saying put forward that "the white man has no kin, his kin is money.”.
Walter Rodney
My house has changed a little in the sun. The fragrance of the magnolias come close, False flick, false form, but falseness close to kin.
Wallace Stevens
Now a curse upon Because and his kin!
Aleister Crowley
The only people that ever made a difference to Billy were the Provos, and they were cunts as well. Ah've no illusions aboot them as freedom fighters. The bastards made ma brar intae a pile ay cat food. But they jist pulled the switch. His death was concieved of by these Orange cunts, comin through every July with thir sashes and flutes, fillin Billy's stupid head with nonsense aboot crown and country and aw that garbage. They'll go home chuffed fae the day. They kin tell aw thir mates aboot how one ay the family died, murdered by the IRA, while defending Ulster. It'll fuel thir pointless anger, get them bought drinks in pubs, and help establish their doss-bastard credibility wi other sectarian arseholes.
Irvine Welsh
