Reasonable Time Lines

Famous quotes containing the words reasonable, time and/or lines:

    The mere idea of marriage, as a strong possibility, if not always nowadays a reasonable likelihood, existing to weaken the will by distracting its straight aim in the life of practically every young girl, is the simple secret of their confessed inferiority in men’s pursuits and professions to-day.
    William Bolitho (1890–1930)

    We have time on our hands here, in our hearts, and it makes us strange.
    Kathleen Norris (b. 1947)

    To understand
    The signs that stars compose, we need depend
    Only on stars that are entirely there
    And the apparent space between them. There
    Never need be lines between them, puzzling
    Our sense of what is what.
    John Hollander (b. 1929)
