Famous quotes containing the word adams:

    All stars stand close in summer air
    And tremble, and look mild as amber;
    When wicks are lighted in the chamber
    You might say stars were settling there.
    —Léonie Adams (1899–1988)

    Dates are stupidly annoying—what we want is not dates but taste;Myet we are uncomfortable without them.
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    You seem to think that I am adapted to nothing but the sugar-plums of intellect and had better not try to digest anything stronger.... a writer of popular sketches in magazines; a lecturer before Lyceums and College societies; a dabbler in metaphysics, poetry, and art, than which I would rather die, for if it has come to that, alas! verily, as you say, mediocrity has fallen on the name of Adams.
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
