Coming

Famous quotes containing the word coming:

    Some of my friends spoke as if I was coming to the woods on purpose to freeze myself.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Basically, I have no place in organized politics. By coming to the British Parliament, I’ve allowed the people to sacrifice me at the top and let go the more effective job I should be doing at the bottom.
    Bernadette Devlin (b. 1947)

    Let us pardon him his hope of a vain apocalypse, and of a second coming in great triumph upon the clouds of heaven. Perhaps these were the errors of others rather than his own; and if it be true that he himself shared the general illusion, what matters it, since his dream rendered him strong against death, and sustained him in a struggle to which he might otherwise have been unequal?
    Ernest Renan (1823–1892)
