Passed Legislation

Famous quotes containing the words passed and/or legislation:

“But as these angels, the only halted ones
among the many who passed and repassed,
trod air as swimmers tread water, each gazing
on the angelic wings of the other,
the intelligence proper to great angels flew into their wings,
the intelligence called intellectual love....”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

“The wise know that foolish legislation is a rope of sand, which perishes in the twisting.”
