Ceased

Famous quotes containing the word ceased:

“Here, the churches seemed to shrink away into eroding corners. They seem to have ceased to be essential parts of American life. They no longer give life.

These in their massive manner of steel and stone say, Come unto me all ye who labour, and we will give you work.”
—Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)

“It is only when we have ceased to be the followers of our followers that we comprehend how meaningless followers are.”
