Famous quotes containing the word possibility:

    So I cradle this average violin that knows
    Only forgotten showtunes, but argues
    The possibility of free declamation anchored

    The malice of a good thing is the barb that makes it stick.
    Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)

    ... research is never completed ... Around the corner lurks another possibility of interview, another book to read, a courthouse to explore, a document to verify.
