Return

Famous quotes containing the word return:

    The return of my birthday, if I remember it, fills me with thoughts which it seems to be the general care of humanity to escape.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    This spending of the best part of one’s life earning money in order to enjoy a questionable liberty during the least valuable part of it reminds me of the Englishman who went to India to make a fortune first, in order that he might return to England and live the life of a poet. He should have gone up garret at once.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    And the Stranger will depart and return to the desert.
    O my soul, be prepared for the coming of the Stranger,
    Be prepared for him who knows how to ask questions.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
