Famous quotes containing the word passes:

    “I bet the worst part about dying is the part where your whole life passes before you.”
    —Jane Wagner (b. 1935)

    “The zoo cannot but disappoint. The public purpose of zoos is to offer visitors the opportunity of looking at animals. Yet nowhere in a zoo can a stranger encounter the look of an animal. At the most, the animal’s gaze flickers and passes on. They look sideways. They look blindly beyond.”
    —John Berger (b. 1926)

    “Disregard for the consequences and for right and wrong nowadays passes as energy.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
