Ascending Limb

Famous quotes containing the words ascending and/or limb:

    Life seems to be an experience in ascending and descending. You think you’re beginning to live for a single aim—for self-development, or the discovery of cosmic truths—when all you’re really doing is to move from place to place as if devoted primarily to real estate.
    Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)

    ... our great-grandmothers were prudes. The reason why they talked so much about their souls, I fancy, is that there was hardly a limb or a feature of the human body that they thought it proper to mention.
    Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
