Contained Slips Marked

Famous quotes containing the words contained, slips and/or marked:

    Time present and time past
    Are both perhaps present in time future,
    And time future contained in time past.
    If all time is eternally present
    All time is unredeemable.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    I know the compassion of others is a relief at first. I don’t despise it. But it can’t quench pain, it slips through your soul as through a sieve. And when our suffering has been dragged from one pity to another, as from one mouth to another, we can no longer respect or love it.
    Georges Bernanos (1888–1948)

    If we are marked to die, we are enough
    To do our country loss; and if to live,
    The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
