Famous quotes containing the words pass and/or play:

    “Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing,
    Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness;
    So on the ocean of life we pass and speak one another,
    Only a look and a voice; then darkness again and a silence.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)

    “The guided missiles,
    The black-and-white angels follow each quirk and jink of
    The evasive sheep, play grandmother’s-steps behind them,
    Freeze to the ground, or leap to head off a straggler”
    —Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)
