Famous quotes containing the words fixed, point and/or type:

    But see, the Virgin blest
    Hath laid her Babe to rest:
    Time is our tedious song should here have ending;
    Heaven’s youngest teemed star,
    Hath fixed her polished car,

    Bright-harnessed angels sit in order serviceable.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    The thief. Once committed beyond a certain point he should not worry himself too much about not being a thief any more. Thieving is God’s message to him. Let him try and be a good thief.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    They had supposed their formula was fixed.
    They had obeyed instructions to devise
    A type of cold, a type of hooded gaze.

    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
