Famous quotes containing the words highest, crude, death and/or rates:

    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Of course you will pooh-pooh whatever’s fresh and new, and declare
    it’s crude and mean;”
    —Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    “In accordance with the law the death sentence was announced to Cincinnatus C. in a whisper. All rose, exchanging smiles.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    “[The] elderly and timid single gentleman in Paris ... never drove down the Champs Elysees without expecting an accident, and commonly witnessing one; or found himself in the neighborhood of an official without calculating the chances of a bomb. So long as the rates of progress held good, these bombs would double in force and number every ten years.”
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
