Famous quotes containing the words quaker and/or meeting:

    “this old Quaker graveyard where the bones
    Cry out in the long night for the hurt beast
    Bobbing by Ahab’s whaleboats in the East.”
    —Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    “The meeting in the open of two dogs, strangers to each other, is one of the most painful, thrilling, and pregnant of all conceivabale encounters; it is surrounded by an atmosphere of the last canniness, presided over by a constraint for which I have no preciser name; they simply cannot pass each other, their mutual embarrassment is frightful to behold.”
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
