Point Count Bidding

Famous quotes containing the words point, count and/or bidding:

    ... there is no point in being realistic about here and now, no use at all not any, and so it is not the nineteenth but the twentieth century, there is no realism now, life is not real it is not earnest, it is strange which is an entirely different matter.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    Happiness was not made to be boasted, but enjoyed. Therefore tho’ others count me miserable, I will not believe them if I know and feel myself to be happy; nor fear them.
    Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)

    Go; and if that word have not quite killed thee,
    Ease me with death by bidding me got too.
    Oh, if it have, let my word work on me,
    And a just office on a murderer do.
    Except it be too late to kill me so,
    Being double dead: going, and bidding go.
    John Donne (1572–1631)
