Famous quotes containing the words passed and/or safely:
“And we passed to the end of a vista,
But were stopped by the door of a tomb
By the door of a legended tomb;
And I said What is written, sweet sister,
On the door of this legended tomb?
She repliedUlalumeUlalume!
Tis the vault of thy lost Ulalume!”
—Edgar Allan Poe (18091849)
“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 (18401928)
