Late

Famous quotes containing the word late:

    All my life I believed I knew something. But then one strange day came when I realized that I knew nothing, yes, I knew nothing. And so words became void of meaning ... I have arrived too late at ultimate uncertainty.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    But this was the old tree’s late branch wrenched away,
    Grieving the sapless limbs, the shorn and shaken.
    John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    If a liberal policy towards the late Rebels is adopted, the ultra Republicans are opposed to it; if the colored people are honored, the extremists of the other wing cry out against it. I suspect I am right in both cases.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
