Famous quotes containing the word cease:

Even themselves or for themselves.

The tease and doubt of shelling,”

“I cease my song for thee,
From my gaze on thee in the west, fronting the west, communing with thee,
O comrade lustrous with silver face in the night.
Yet each to keep and all, retrievements out of the night,
The song, the wondrous chant of the grey-brown bird,
And the tallying chant, the echo aroused in my soul,
With the lustrous and drooping star with the countenance full of woe,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

“Rules that are never violated cease to be recognized as Rules.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
