Clean Sheet

Famous quotes containing the words clean and/or sheet:

    Going down for the last time, the last breath lying,
    I grapple with eels like ropes—it’s ether, it’s queer
    and then, at last, it’s done. Now the scavengers arrive,
    the hard crawlers who come to clean up the ocean floor.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    No man is good enough to govern another man, without that other’s consent. I say this is the leading principle—the sheet anchor of American republicanism.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
