Prologue Quotes
Therefore another prologue must tell he is not a lion.
William Shakespeare
A popular Government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy, or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.
James Madison
Courtship is to marriage, as a very witty prologue to a very dull play.
William Congreve
A popular government without popular information or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce, or a tragedy, or perhaps both.
James Madison
This is the start, the beginning The prologue to the yarn that you're spinning A million synonyms will never get close to describe the feeling.
Tomas Kalnoky
The Prologue of the Messenger. For as much as man is naturally prone To evil from his youth, as Scripture doth recite, It is necessary that he be speedily withdrawn From concupiscence of sin, his natural appetite: An order to bring up youth Ecclesiasticus doth write, An untamed horse will be hard, saith he, And a wanton child wilful will be.
Robert Wever
Is the conviction that acting unreasonably contradicts God's nature merely a Greek idea, or is it always and intrinsically true? I believe that here we can see the profound harmony between what is Greek in the best sense of the word and the biblical understanding of faith in God. Modifying the first verse of the Book of Genesis, the first verse of the whole Bible, John began the prologue of his Gospel with the words: "In the beginning was the λόγος". This is the very word used by the emperor: God acts, σὺν λόγω, with logos. Logos means both reason and word - a reason which is creative and capable of self-communication, precisely as reason. John thus spoke the final word on the biblical concept of God, and in this word all the often toilsome and tortuous threads of biblical faith find their culmination and synthesis. In the beginning was the logos, and the logos is God, says the Evangelist. The encounter between the Biblical message and Greek thought did not happen by chance.
Pope Benedict XVI
Bk. 12, prologue, line 231.

Prologue, and a recurring phrase throughout the book.
Kurt Vonnegut
Whereof what's past is prologue, what to come In yours and my discharge.
William Shakespeare
A boy named Buddy came up beside me in the schoolyard. I don't remember what passed as prologue, but I do not forget what Buddy divulged to me: If you're white, you're all right; If you're brown, stick around; If you're black, stand back. It was as though Buddy had taken me to a mountaintop and shown me the way things lay in the city below.
