Had Had Had

Famous quotes containing the words had had and/or had:

    I met a Californian who would
    Talk California—a state so blessed
    He said, in climate, none had ever died there
    A natural death, and Vigilance Committees
    Had had to organize to stock the graveyards
    And vindicate the state’s humanity.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    And no one, it seemed, had had the presence of mind
    To initiate proceedings or stop the wheel

    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
