Grace Murray Hopper

Famous quotes containing the words grace, murray and/or hopper:

    Thus Pegasus, a nearer way to take,
    May boldly deviate from the common track.
    From vulgar bounds with brave disorder part,
    And snatch a grace beyond the reach of art,
    Which without passing through the judgment, gains
    The heart, and all its end at once attains.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    Because you live, O Christ,
    the spirit bird of hope is freed for flying,
    our cages of despair no longer keep us closed and life-denying.
    The stone has rolled away and death cannot imprison!
    O sing this Easter Day, for Jesus Christ has risen!
    —Shirley Erena Murray (20th century)

    Maxim de Winter: Tell me, is Mrs. Van Hopper a friend of yours or just a relation?
    Mrs. de Winter: No, she’s my employer. I’m what’s known as a paid companion.
    Maxim de Winter: I didn’t know that companionship could be bought.
    Robert E. Sherwood (1896–1955)
