Famous quotes containing the words stanley and/or coulter:
“Turning the other cheek is a kind of moral jiu-jitsu.”
—Gerald Stanley Lee (1862–1944)
“For in the word death
There is nothing to grasp; nothing to catch or claim;
Nothing to adapt the skill of the heart to, skill
In surviving, for death it cannot survive,
Only resign the irrecoverable keys.
The wave falters and drowns. The coulter of joy
Breaks. The harrow of death
Depends. And there are thrown up waves.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
