Famous quotes containing the word thought:

    “Anybody who’s been through a divorce will tell you that at one point ... they’ve thought murder. The line between thinking murder and doing murder isn’t that major.”
    —Oliver Stone (b. 1946)

    “... a friend told me that she had read of a woman who had knitted a wash rag for President Wilson. She was eighty years old and her friends thought it remarkable that she could knit a wash rag! I thought that if a woman of eighty could knit a wash rage for a Democratic President it behooved one of ninety-six to make something more than a wash rag for a Republican President.”
    —Maria D. Brown (1827–1927)

    “Some have been thought brave because they were afraid to run away.”
    —Eighteenth-century English proverb, collected in Thomas Fuller, Gnomologia (1732)
