Famous quotes containing the words related and/or terms:

    The custard is setting; meanwhile
    I not only have my own history to worry about
    But am forced to fret over insufficient details related to large
    Unfinished concepts that can never bring themselves to the point
    Of being, with or without my help, if any were forthcoming.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    I hope that you live on good terms with yourself and the gods.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
