Spread Option

Famous quotes containing the words spread and/or option:

“[Allegory] should ... be very sparingly practised, lest, whilst the writer plays with his own fancies and diverts himself by cutting the air with his wide spread wings, he should soar out of view of his readers, leaving them in confusion and perplexity to explore his viewless track.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

“A self-respecting nation is ready for anything, including war, except for a renunciation of its option to make war.”
