Deputy Supreme King

Famous quotes containing the words deputy, supreme and/or king:

    Not all the water in the rough rude sea

    The breath of worldly men cannot depose
    The deputy elected by the Lord.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Nihilism: any aim is lacking, any answer to the question “why” is lacking. What does nihilism mean?—that the supreme values devaluate themselves.

    For and if thou canst answer my questions three,
    Thy life and thy living both saved shall be.
    —Unknown. King John and the Abbot of Canterbury (l. 75–76)
