Ceased

Famous quotes containing the word ceased:

“Gifts of one loved me,—
‘T was high time they came;
When he ceased to love me,
Time they stopped for shame.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“In colonial America, the father was the primary parent. . . . Over the past two hundred years, each generation of fathers has had less authority than the last. . . . Masculinity ceased to be defined in terms of domestic involvement, skills at fathering and husbanding, but began to be defined in terms of making money. Men had to leave home to work. They stopped doing all the things they used to do.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)

“Something has ceased to come along with me.
Something like a person: something very like one.
And there was no nobility in it
Or anything like that.”
—Jon Silkin (b. 1930)
