Passing Rate

Famous quotes containing the words passing and/or rate:

“We live between two worlds; we soar in the atmosphere; we creep upon the soil; we have the aspirations of creators and the propensities of quadrupeds. There can be but one explanation of this fact. We are passing from the animal into a higher form, and the drama of this planet is in its second act.”
—W. Winwood Reade (1838–1875)

“All of us failed to match our dreams of perfection. So I rate us on the basis of our splendid failure to do the impossible.”
