Checked Exceptions

Famous quotes containing the words checked and/or exceptions:

    I checked out for the last time
    on the first of May;
    graduate of the mental cases,
    with my analyst’s okay,
    my complete book of rhymes,
    my typewriter and my suitcases.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Skepticism is unbelief in cause and effect. A man does not see, that, as he eats, so he thinks: as he deals, so he is, and so he appears; he does not see that his son is the son of his thoughts and of his actions; that fortunes are not exceptions but fruits; that relation and connection are not somewhere and sometimes, but everywhere and always; no miscellany, no exemption, no anomaly,—but method, and an even web; and what comes out, that was put in.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
