Famous quotes containing the word passes:

    “Disregard for the consequences and for right and wrong nowadays passes as energy.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    “By many a legendary tale of violence and wrong, as well as by events which have passed before their eyes, these people have been taught to look upon white men with abhorrence.... I can sympathize with the spirit which prompts the Typee warrior to guard all the passes to his valley with the point of his levelled spear, and, standing upon the beach, with his back turned upon his green home, to hold at bay the intruding European.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “Much of what passes for quality on British television is no more than a reflection of the narrow elite which controls it and has always thought that its tastes were synonymous with quality.”
    —Rupert Murdoch (b. 1931)
