Circular Object

Famous quotes containing the words circular and/or object:

“The night in prison was novel and interesting enough.... I found that even here there was a history and a gossip which never circulated beyond the walls of the jail. Probably this is the only house in the town where verses are composed, which are afterward printed in a circular form, but not published. I was shown quite a long list of verses which were composed by some young men who had been detected in an attempt to escape, who avenged themselves by singing them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“I am tired of a life of contention, and of being the personal object for the hatred of every man, who hates the present state of things.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
