Famous quotes containing the words rising and/or edge:
“Consider the difference between looking and staring. A look is voluntary; it is also mobile, rising and falling in intensity as its foci of interest are taken up and then exhausted. A stare has, essentially, the character of a compulsion; it is steady, unmodulated, “fixed.””
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“Imprudence relies on luck, prudence on method. That gives prudence less edge than it expects.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
