Lasts

Famous quotes containing the word lasts:

“We saw the machinery where murderers are now executed. Seven have been executed. The plan is better than the old one. It is quietly done. Only a few, at the most about thirty or forty, can witness [an execution]. It excites nobody outside of the list permitted to attend. I think the time for capital punishment has passed. I would abolish it. But while it lasts this is the best mode.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

“One doesn’t look at a rainbow any longer that lasts a quarter of an hour.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

“Skepticism is provisional, even if it lasts a lifetime.”
—José Bergamín (1895–1983)
