Famous quotes containing the words fleet and/or details:

    They ... fleet the time carelessly, as they did in the golden world.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Then he told the news media
    the strange details of his death
    and they hammered him up in the marketplace
    and sold him and sold him and sold him.
    My death the same.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
