Stopping

Famous quotes containing the word stopping:

“There seems to be no stopping drug frenzy once it takes hold of a nation. What starts with an innocuous HUGS, NOT DRUGS bumper sticker soon leads to wild talk of shooting dealers and making urine tests a condition for employment—anywhere.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

“Is whispering nothing?
Is leaning cheek to cheek? Is meeting noses?
Kissing with inside lip? Stopping the career
Of laughter with a sigh?—a note infallible
Of breaking honesty.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Hamlet. To what base uses we may return, Horatio! Why may
not imagination trace the noble dust of Alexander, till a
find it stopping a bung-hole?
Horatio. ‘Twere to consider too curiously to consider so.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
