Sits

Famous quotes containing the word sits:

“I date the end of the old republic and the birth of the empire to the invention, in the late thirties, of air conditioning. Before air conditioning, Washington was deserted from mid-June to September.... But after air conditioning and the Second World War arrived, more or less at the same time, Congress sits and sits while the presidents—or at least their staffs—never stop making mischief.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)

“We dance round in a ring and suppose,
But the Secret sits in the middle and knows.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“On the outskirts of every agony sits some observant fellow who points.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
