Term Ends

Famous quotes containing the words term and/or ends:

    In eloquence, the great triumphs of the art are when the orator is lifted above himself; when consciously he makes himself the mere tongue of the occasion and the hour, and says what cannot but be said. Hence the term abandonment, to describe the self-surrender of the orator.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    they filled his belly
    with large stones and sewed him up.
    He was as heavy as a cemetery
    and when he woke up and tried to run off
    he fell over dead. Killed by his own weight.
    Many a deception ends on such a note.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
