Double Declining Balance

Famous quotes containing the words double, declining and/or balance:

    “To be a woman and a writer
    is double mischief, for
    the world will slight her
    who slights “the servile house,” and who would rather
    make odes than beds.”
    —Dilys Laing (1906–1960)

    “On a snug evening I shall watch her fingers,
    Cleverly ringed, declining to clever pink,
    Beg glory from the willing keys. Old hungers
    Will break their coffins, rise to eat and thank.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    “Turning, I kissed her,
    Easily for sheer joy tipping the balance of love.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
