Famous quotes containing the words blank, tape and/or halting:
“Why it was that upon this beautiful feminine tissue, sensitive as gossamer, and practically blank as snow as yet, there should have been traced such a coarse pattern as it was doomed to receive; why so often the coarse appropriates the finer thus, the wrong man the woman, the wrong women the man, many years of analytical philosophy have failed to explain to our sense of order.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
“I could buy one
Tape and get another free. I accept- Ed the deal, paid for one tape and
Chose a free one. But since I’ve been
Repeatedly billed for my free tape.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Of the two
who feign anger,
sulk in mock sleep,
and give ear
to the other’s halting sighs,
who’s the winner?”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
