Received

Famous quotes containing the word received:

“Lazarus was coolly received by his friends, who considered his case closed.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“I want to ask You if it stands to reason
That women prophets should be burned as witches,
Whereas men prophets are received with honor.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“The Concord had rarely been a river, or rivus, but barely fluvius, or between fluvius and lacus. This Merrimack was neither rivus nor fluvius nor lacus, but rather amnis here, a gently swelling and stately rolling flood approaching the sea. We could even sympathize with its buoyant tied, going to seek its fortune in the ocean, and anticipating the time when “being received within the plain of its freer water,” it should “beat the shore for banks.””
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
