Famous quotes containing the words continuing and/or east:

“If the oarsmen of a fast-moving ship suddenly cease to row, the suspension of the driving force of the oars doesn’t prevent the vessel from continuing to move on its course. And with a speech it is much the same. After he has finished reciting the document, the speaker will still be able to maintain the same tone without a break, borrowing its momentum and impulse from the passage he has just read out.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C)

“I’m glad we’ve been bombed. It makes me feel I can look the East End in the face.”
—Elizabeth, Queen Mother (b. 1900)
