Famous quotes containing the words delay and/or line:

    “Once we began to see our images
    Reflected in the mud and even dust,
    ‘Twas disillusion upon disillusion.
    We were lost piecemeal to the animals,
    Like people thrown out to delay the wolves.
    Nothing but fallibility was left us....”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Men are not to be told anything they might find too painful; the secret depths of human nature, the sordid physicalities, might overwhelm or damage them. For instance, men often faint at the sight of their own blood, to which they are not accustomed. For this reason you should never stand behind one in the line at the Red Cross donor clinic.”
    —Margaret Atwood (b. 1939)
