Famous quotes containing the word stops:

    “Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing up is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing.”
    —Phyllis Diller (20th century)

    “The end of all stories, even if the writer forebears to mention it, is death, which is where time stops short. Sheherezade knew this, which is why she kept on spinning another story out of the bowels of the last one, never coming to a point where she could say: “This is the end.” Because it would have been.”
    —Angela Carter (1940–1992)
