Famous quotes containing the word drop:

    “The pipe, with solemn interposing puff,
    Makes half a sentence at a time enough;
    The dozing sages drop the drowsy strain,
    Then pause, and puff—and speak, and pause again.”
    —William Cowper (1731–1800)

    “The stars move still, time runs, the clock will strike,
    The devil will come, and Faustus must be damned.
    O I’ll leap up to my God: who pulls me down?
    See, see, where Christ’s blood streams in the firmament.
    One drop would save my soul, half a drop, ah my Christ.”
    —Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)

    “we drop into the soup
    and drown
    in the worry festering inside us,
    lest our children
    go so fast
    they go.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
