Territory Received Present

Famous quotes containing the words territory, received and/or present:

“When the excessively shy force themselves to be forward, they are frequently surprisingly unsubtle and overdirect and even rude: they have entered an extreme region beyond their normal personality, an area of social crime where gradations don’t count; unavailable to them are the instincts and taboos that booming extroverts, who know the territory of self-advancement far better, can rely on.”
—Nicholson Baker (b. 1957)

“Frank Harris has been received in all the great houses—once!”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

“For though absent in body, I am present in spirit...”
—Bible: New Testament, 1 Corinthians 5:3.
