Passed Safely

Famous quotes containing the words passed and/or safely:

    Then let yourself love all that you take delight in
    Accept yourself whole, accept the heritage
    That shaped you and is passed on from age to age
    Down to your entity. Remain mysterious;
    Rather than be pure, accept yourself as numerous.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    A well-proportioned mind is one which shows no particular bias; one of which we may safely say that it will never cause its owner to be confined as a madman, tortured as a heretic, or crucified as a blasphemer. Also, on the other hand, that it will never cause him to be applauded as a prophet, revered as a priest, or exalted as a king. Its usual blessings are happiness and mediocrity.
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
