Famous quotes containing the word passes:
“His moving impulse is no flabby yearning to teach, to expound, to make simple; it is that obscure inner necessity of which Conrad tells us, the irresistible creative passion of a genuine artist, standing spell-bound before the impenetrable enigma that is life, enamoured by the strange beauty that plays over its sordidness, challenged to a wondering and half-terrified sort of representation of what passes understanding.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“I bet the worst part about dying is the part where your whole life passes before you.”
—Jane Wagner (b. 1935)
“Who lives longer: the man who takes heroin for two years and dies, or the man who lives on roast beef, water and potatoes till ninety-five? One passes his twenty-four months in eternity. All the years of the beef-eater are lived only in time.”
—Aldous Huxley (18941963)
