Stopping Place

Famous quotes containing the words stopping and/or place:

    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)

    The only asylum
    Was the poorhouse, and those who could afford,
    Rather than send their folks to such a place,
    Kept them at home; and it does seem more human.
    But it’s not so: the place is the asylum.
    There they have every means proper to do with,
    And you aren’t darkening other people’s lives....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
