Famous quotes containing the word trails:

    “My noisy denunciation trails off in doubt.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “Life ... is not simply a series of exciting new ventures. The future is not always a whole new ball game. There tends to be unfinished business. One trails all sorts of things around with one, things that simply won’t be got rid of.”
    —Anita Brookner (b. 1928)
