Edge

Famous quotes containing the word edge:

    It is the star to every wand’ring bark,
    Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.
    Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
    Within his bending sickle’s compass come;
    Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
    But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    As I came to the edge of the woods,
    Thrush music—hark!
    Now if it was dusk outside,
    Inside it was dark.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Americans see history as a straight line and themselves standing at the cutting edge of it as representatives for all mankind. They believe in the future as if it were a religion; they believe that there is nothing they cannot accomplish, that solutions wait somewhere for all problems, like brides.
    Frances Fitzgerald (b. 1940)
