Famous quotes containing the words feet and/or fixed:
“I do not call the sod under my feet my country; but language–religion–government–blood–identity in these makes men of one country.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
“Indeed, I thought, slipping the silver into my purse ... what a change of temper a fixed income will bring about. No force in the world can take from me my five hundred pounds. Food, house and clothing are mine for ever. Therefore not merely do effort and labour cease, but also hatred and bitterness. I need not hate any man; he cannot hurt me. I need not flatter any man; he has nothing to give me.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
