Famous quotes containing the words double, stalemate and/or position:
“Even in harmonious families there is this double life: the group life, which is the one we can observe in our neighbour’s household, and, underneath, another—secret and passionate and intense—which is the real life that stamps the faces and gives character to the voices of our friends.

“Courage is in the air in bracing whiffs
Better than all the stalemate an’s and ifs.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“When you give power to an executive you do not know who will be filling that position when the time of crisis comes.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
