Received

Famous quotes containing the word received:

“However backwards the world has been in former ages in the discovery of such points as GOD never meant us to know,—we have been more successful in our own days:Mthousands can trace out now the impressions of this divine intercourse in themselves, from the first moment they received it, and with such distinct intelligence of its progress and workings, as to require no evidence of its truth.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

““Interesting, but futile,” said his diary,
Where day by day his movements were recorded
And nothing but his loves received inquiry....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

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