Famous quotes containing the words fix, rare and/or case:
“They are not Gods
though they would like to be;
they are only a human
trying to fix up a human.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Though Americans talk a good deal about the virtue of being serious, they generally prefer people who are solemn over people who are serious. In politics, the rare candidate who is serious, like Adlai Stevenson, is easily overwhelmed by one who is solemn, like General Eisenhower. This is probably because it is hard for most people to recognize seriousness, which is rare, especially in politics, but comfortable to endorse solemnity, which is as commonplace as jogging.”
—Russell Baker (b. 1925)
“It is often the case that the man who can’t tell a lie thinks he is the best judge of one.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
