Famous quotes containing the words load and/or pass:
“The only human beings I have thoroughly admired and respected in the world have been those who carried the load of the world with a smile, and who, in the face of anxieties that would have knocked me clean out, never showed a tremor.

—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“if she were lacking all grace
they’d pass her in silence:

a warm hole.”
