Famous quotes containing the words succession of, succession and/or seats:

    “We then entered another swamp, at a necessarily slow pace, where the walking was worse than ever, not only on account of the water, but the fallen timber, which often obliterated the indistinct trail entirely. The fallen trees were so numerous, that for long distances the route was through a succession of small yards, where we climbed over fences as high as our heads, down into water often up to our knees, and then over another fence into a second yard, and so on.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The usual derivation of the word Metaphysics is not to be sustained ... the science is supposed to take its name from its superiority to physics. The truth is, that Aristotle’s treatise on Morals is next in succession to his Book of Physics.”
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    “Will the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands? All the rest of you, if you’ll just rattle your jewelry.”
    —John Lennon (1940–1980)
