Famous quotes containing the words pass and/or break:
“You are even a world,
a planet,
and pass from history
and the day’s event.
to myth and phantasy,”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“I am willing, for a money consideration, to test this physical strength, this nervous force, and muscular power with which I’ve been gifted, to show that they will bear a certain strain. If I break down, if my brain gives way under want of sleep, my heart ceases to respond to the calls made on my circulatory system, or the surcharged veins of my extremities burst—if, in short, I fall helpless, or it may be, dead on the track, then I lose my money.”
—Ada Anderson (1860–?)
