Bottom

Famous quotes containing the word bottom:

    The very bottom and the soul of hope,
    The very list, the very utmost bound
    Of all our fortunes.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Methoughts I saw a thousand fearful wrecks,
    A thousand men that fishes gnawed upon,
    Wedges of gold, great anchors, heaps of pearl,
    Inestimable stones, unvalued jewels,
    All scattered in the bottom of the sea.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Many divorces are not really the result of irreparable injury but involve, instead, a desire on the part of the man or woman to shatter the setup, start out from scratch alone, and make life work for them all over again. They want the risk of disaster, want to touch bottom, see where bottom is, and, coming up, to breathe the air with relief and relish again.
    Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
