Leaving

Famous quotes containing the word leaving:

    Thwackum was for doing justice, and leaving mercy to Heaven.
    Henry Fielding (1707–1754)

    I am not impressed by the Ivy League establishments. Of course they graduate the best—it’s all they’ll take, leaving to others the problem of educating the country. They will give you an education the way the banks will give you money—provided you can prove to their satisfaction that you don’t need it.
    Peter De Vries (b. 1910)

    pulling off the fat diamond engagement ring,
    pulling off the elopement wedding ring,
    and holding them, clicking them
    in thumb and forefinger,
    the indent of twenty-five years,
    like a tiny rip leaving its mark....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
