Famous quotes containing the words plans and/or set:
“When I heard at the close of the day how my name had been receivd
with plaudits in the capitol, still it was not a happy night for me
that followd,
And else when I carousd, or when my plans were accomplishd,
still I was not happy,
But the day when I rose at dawn from the bed of perfect health,
refreshd, singing, inhaling the ripe breath of autumn,”
—Walt Whitman (18191892)
“What these perplexities of my uncle Toby were,tis impossible for you to guess;Mif you could,I should blush ... as an author; inasmuch as I set no small store by myself upon this very account, that my reader has never yet been able to guess at any thing. And ... if I thought you was able to form the least ... conjecture to yourself, of what was to come in the next page,I would tear it out of my book.”
—Laurence Sterne (17131768)
