Point Patton

Famous quotes containing the words point and/or patton:

    For pain is perhaps but a violent pleasure? Who could determine the point where pleasure becomes pain, where pain is still a pleasure? Is not the utmost brightness of the ideal world soothing to us, while the lightest shadows of the physical world annoy?
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    A mechanism of some kind stands between us and almost every act of our lives.
    —Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 3, ch. 2 (1962)
