Suspended

Famous quotes containing the word suspended:

“If one doubts whether Grecian valor and patriotism are not a fiction of the poets, he may go to Athens and see still upon the walls of the temple of Minerva the circular marks made by the shields taken from the enemy in the Persian war, which were suspended there. We have not far to seek for living and unquestionable evidence. The very dust takes shape and confirms some story which we had read.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“For some people, their idea of getting tough is longer suspended sentences.”
—Jeremy Larner, U.S. screenwriter. Senator Crocker Jarman (Don Porter)

“Faces, suddenly suspended above you;
faces that you think it’s your business to love
if only you could remember their names.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
