Famous quotes containing the words passed and/or safely:
“Every year without knowing it I have passed the day
When the last fires will wave to me”

“We can never safely exceed the actual facts in our narratives. Of pure invention, such as some suppose, there is no instance. To write a true work of fiction even is only to take leisure and liberty to describe some things more exactly as they are.”
