Famous quotes containing the words post and/or status:
“My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
“As a work of art it has the same status as a long conversation between two not very bright drunks.”
—Clive James (b. 1939)
