Famous quotes containing the words fixed, point and/or type:
“Nothing stands out so conspicuously, or remains so firmly fixed in the memory, as something which you have blundered.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
“Courage is not simply one of the virtues but the form of every virtue at the testing point, which means at the point of highest reality.”
—C.S. (Clive Staples)
“We have two kinds of “conference.” One is that to which the office boy refers when he tells the applicant for a job that Mr. Blevitch is “in conference.” This means that Mr. Blevitch is in good health and reading the paper, but otherwise unoccupied. The other type of “conference” is bona fide in so far as it implies that three or four men are talking together in one room, and don’t want to be disturbed.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
