Famous quotes containing the words assyrian and/or period:
“The Assyrian came down like the wolf on the fold,
And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold:”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“Stupid word, that. Period. In America it means “full stop” like in punctuation. That’s stupid as well. A period isn’t a full stop. It’s a new beginning. I don’t mean all that creativity, life-giving force, earth-mother stuff, I mean it’s a new beginning to the month, relief that you’re not pregnant, when you don’t have to have a child.”
—Michelene Wandor (b. 1940)
