Person Duly Attached

Famous quotes containing the words person, duly and/or attached:

    This is the way I look when I’m sober. That’s enough to make a person drink, wouldn’t you say?
    —J.P. (James Pinckney)

    Each lonely scene shall thee restore;
    For thee the tear be duly shed;
    Beloved till life can charm no more,
    And mourn’d till Pity’s self be dead.
    William Collins (1721–1759)

    Well, most men have bound their eyes with one or another handkerchief, and attached themselves to some of these communities of opinion. This conformity makes them not false in a few particulars, authors of a few lies, but false in all particulars. Their every truth is not quite true. Their two is not the real two, their four not the real four; so that every word they say chagrins us and we know not where to set them right.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
