Horizontal Ellipsis Character

Famous quotes containing the words horizontal and/or character:

    “I am a sort of martyr, as you see,
    A horizontal monument to patience.
    The calves of waitresses parade about
    My helpless head upon this sodden floor.
    Well, I am down again, but not yet out.
    O sweet frustrations, I shall be back for more.”
    —Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    “To arrive at a just estimate of a renowned man’s character one must judge it by the standards of his time, not ours.”
