Famous quotes containing the words late and/or period:
“I would remind my countrymen that they are to be men first, and Americans only at a late and convenient hour.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Stupid word, that. Period. In America it means “full stop” like in punctuation. That’s stupid as well. A period isn’t a full stop. It’s a new beginning. I don’t mean all that creativity, life-giving force, earth-mother stuff, I mean it’s a new beginning to the month, relief that you’re not pregnant, when you don’t have to have a child.”
—Michelene Wandor (b. 1940)
