Test Running

Famous quotes containing the words test and/or running:

    Tried by a New England eye, or the more practical wisdom of modern times, they are the oracles of a race already in its dotage; but held up to the sky, which is the only impartial and incorruptible ordeal, they are of a piece with its depth and serenity, and I am assured that they will have a place and significance as long as there is a sky to test them by.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Frances Stevens: Mother, this is why I’ve had to spend half my life running around the world after you—to keep men like this away from you.
    Mrs. Stevens: Well after this, let me run my own interference. It looks like the blockers are having all the fun.
    John Michael Hayes (b. 1919)
