Famous quotes containing the word passes:
“I think of an author as somebody who goes into the marketplace and puts down his rug and says, “I will tell you a story,” and then he passes the hat.”

“In our era, the road to holiness necessarily passes through the world of action.”
—Dag Hammarskjöld (1905–1961)
“A faithful lover is a character greatly out of date, and rarely now used but to adorn some romantic novel, or for a flourish on the stage. He passes now for a man of little merit, or one who knows nothing of the world.”
